Cleaning the trap and the drainage
pump
The washing machine has a trap where smaller
objects such as coins and hairpins can collect. To
clean the trap and the drainage pump, do as follows:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water and
switched off at the mains.
2. Open the door.
3. Unhook the drainage hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a suitable
container, such as a shallow bowl.
4. Turn the cover anti-clockwise to open the pump.
Remove the cover.
5. Remove any items and so forth from the pump
housing and the cover. Also check that the pump
blades right 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 clothes to be washed
at low temperatures. This means that small deposits
can build up in the machine. These, in turn, may lead
to unpleasant smells developing; especially if
constantly using cold wash.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95 °C wash
program once a month. When you do this, use a
small quantity of detergent. It is not necessary to put
any washing in the machine.
