Care and maintenance instructions

Cleaning the trap and the drain
pump
The washing machine has a trap where small
items such as coins, buttons, and hairpins can
collect. To clean the trap and the drain pump, do
as follows:
1. Make sure that the main power switch is off.
2. Open the door.
3. Unhook the drain hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a
suitable container, such as a shallow bowl.
4. Turn the cover counter-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover.
5. Remove any items and debris from the pump
housing and cover. Also check that the pump
impellers at the back rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin, and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Pull out the detergent compartment using the
release button.

Rinse the compartment and scrub it clean. The
cover in the fabric softener compartment can be
removed.
NOTE!
Do not run the detergent compartment through a
dishwasher!
Cleaning the outside of the
machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
any solvents, as these can damage the machine.
NOTE!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
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.
