CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The washing machine does not require special care; however, to best ensure a long life, certain precautions
are recommended (see page 3).
WARNING! Before performing the operations described below, make sure that the power is off and
the unit is unplugged.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER
The drawer should be cleaned periodically with a damp, slightly soapy cloth.
CAUTION: Never clean the door with cleaning solvents or abrasive cleansers.
You could damage the finish.
You can remove the drawer completely by pressing on the plastic part of the
softener compartment marked “PUSH” (Fig. 10). Clean the drawer with a soft
brush under warm running water.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
The lint filter should be cleaned about once a month. Make sure the washer has drained before opening the
filter door.
1.
Place a pan or towel under the filter door (Fig. 11), since a small amount of water could spill.
2.
Remove the filter by turning it a half turn counterclockwise and pulling outwards (Fig. 12).
3.
Clean the filter with a soft brush under running water until all residue is removed.
4.
Replace the filter and turn it clockwise until it is securely locked in place (Fig. 13). Give the cap a gentle
tug to confirm that the filter is in securely.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth. To prevent penetration of liquid into the door lock
and electrical components, never spray water or cleaning solvents on the control panel. Also, never
use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish and could
remove the writing on the control panel. Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.
