cleaning the drum
Any rust left inside the drum by metal articles must be removed immediately with chlorine-free
detergent. Never use steel wool.
This machine has a self-clean programme. You can put in the drum a proper amount of chlorine-free
detergent for better cleaning result. When self-clean programme is running, washing of clothes is
not allowed.
maintenance - cleaning the washing machine
siphon plug
Pull out the detergent drawer. Remove the siphon plug and clean any
residual softener thoroughly. Fit the cleaned siphon plug in its location.
Check if it is fitted properly.
cleaning the door seal and window
• Wipe the window and seal after each wash to remove lint and stains. If lint builds up, it can
cause leaks.
• Remove any coins, buttons and other objects from the door seal after each wash.
cleaning the exterior of your washing machine
• Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent such as kitchen
detergent.
• Don’t splash water over the washing machine.
• Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.
cleaning the detergent drawer
1. Remove the detergent drawer by pulling and pressing gently on the rear centre part of the
softener compartment.
2. Wash out old detergent from the drawer with water. (Use a cloth to clean the washing machine.)
Residue detergent soon builds up if you don’t clean the drawer regularly, and can develop
mould.
3. Return drawer to original position.
Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning.
To prevent build-up of detergent residue, it is recommended to wash the appliance without
any load or detergent once a month.
