Care and cleaning
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.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 90 °C
wash programme once a month. When you do
this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any washing in the machine.
Rinse holes under the agitator
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
agitator. 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 the like into the hole
on the agitator as illustrated and carefully pry
to the left.
2. Use your other hand to grasp the agitator and
pull it towards you.
3. the agitator.
4. Remove any objects.
5. Place the agitator in the mounting hole with
the F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the
agitator 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 greyish-white coating may
form on the wash drum. To remove this coating,
pour approximately 20 gram of citric acid into
the wash drum and run any 90 °C programme.
Repeat if necessary.
