For Other Inside Cleaning
• Dry around the appliance door opening,

flexible gasket,and door glass. These areas

should always be clean to ensure a water

tight seal.

• When extremely soiled items have been

washed, a dirty residue may remain on the

drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a

nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse

thoroughly with water.

• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom

of the flexible gasket to remove lint and other

debris.

• The plastic drum vanes may become stained

from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a

nonabrasive household cleanser. This

prevents dye transfer to future loads.

Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser

drawer should be cleaned regularly:
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out

until it stops. (Figure 1)

• Reach back into the left rear corner of the

drawer cavity and press down firmly on the

lock tab (left rear portion of the drawer). Pull

out the drawer. (Figure 2). (Lock tab is visible

only after drawer has been pulled out).

• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric

softener compartments. (Figure 3)

• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap

water to remove traces of accumulated

powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric

softener residue may indicate improper

dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.

Figure 1

• To clean the drawer opening, use a small

brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue

from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

(Figure 4)

• Replace the insert pressing the "X" to lock it

in place.

External Cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with

soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of

lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become

clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it

from time to time.

Turn off the water tap.

Unscrew the water

inlet hose. Clean the

filter using a hard

bristle brush. 
Tighten up the inlet

hose.

The dangers of freezing
If the appliance is exposed to temperatures

below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket;
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl

placed on the floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on again.
• When you intend to start the appliance up

again, make sure that the room temperature

is above 0°C.
