Cleaning / Maintenance / Frost Protection
Before you begin any maintenance work,
unplug the machine or switch off the fuse.
Turn the tap off.
Cleaning your machine
! Never use solvents, as these can damage
machine components, and produce toxic
vapours. Explosion hazard!
! Never spray the machine with water.
Casing and control panel should only be clea-
ned with a standard, solvent-free, non-scouring
cleaning agent.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
1. Pull out the drawer out completely.
2. Press the cover of the siphon tube inside the
bucket of softeners, pull out the whole drawer.
3. Turn the siphon tube cover upward.(see figure
12 ).
4. Clean the drawer and the siphon tube with tap
water.
5. Replace the cover of the siphon tube.
6. Insert the drawer.
Descaling the machine
Descaling is not usually necessary if you use the
right amount of detergent,
! Descaling agents contain acids which can
corrode machine components and cause
discoloration of laundry.
However, if you do want to descale your
washing machine, follow the manufacturers
Instructions.
Cleaning the drum
Any rust, caused by metal objects left in the
machine, must be removed using a chlorine-free
cleaning agent (check the description of

Cleaning the pump
Fig. 15 , 16 , 17
The pump must be cleaned:
if the pump has been blocked by some
foreign object, such as a button or paper
clip,and water cannot be pumped out.
after washing very fluffy items.
Before cleaning the pump, water must be drai-
ned out of the machine. If the pump has been
blocked, up to 20 litres of water can run out -
so keep a bucket handy.
Cleaning procedure:
1. Remove the base cover from the front of
the machine.
! Scalding hazard. Allow hot water to cool
down.
2. Carefully unscrew the pump cover- do not
remove it completely- and let the water
drain out into a shallow container (let the
remainder drip onto a floor cloth). Repeat
the operation until there is no water left
in the machine.
3. Remove the pump cover.
4. Remove any foreign objects and fibrous
deposits. Clean the inside of the pump.
Ensure that the vanes on the pump move
freely.
5. Screw the pump cover back on.
6. Replace and close the base cover.
7. Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent drawer and start the Drain
programme. This prevents detergents from
passing unused straight into the drains the
next time the washing machine is used.
