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 the machine is empty of water
and switched off at the main power switch.
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!
