Care and maintenance instructions
Cleaning the inside of the machine to
avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow laundry to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine.
These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant odors
developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 203
°F (95°C) wash program once a month. When
you do this, use a small quantity of detergent.
It is not necessary to put any laundry in the
machine.

Rinse holes under the paddle

If you suspect that objects such as nails or
paper clips may have fallen into the wash
drum, you should check the space under the
paddles. Such objects can rust and cause spots
on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects can
cause holes in fabrics.
Do as follows:
1. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the
hole on the paddle as illustrated and carefully
push to the left.
2. Use your other hand to grasp the paddle and
pull it toward you.

3. Lift the paddle.
4. Remove any objects.
5. Place the paddle in the mounting hole with
the F-mark toward you. Ensure that all the
paddle fasteners are in their holes in the
drum. Push it in until it catches.

If you have hard water

If you live in an area with hard water (high
limescale content), a grayish-white coating may
form on the wash drum. To remove this coating,
pour approximately 20 gram (1 oz) of citric acid
into the wash drum and run any 203°F (95°C)
program. Repeat if necessary.
