Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine
Cleaning the Drum
If you keep using cold water in your washing machine, this may cause a build-up of bacteria
inside the drum, which can give off an odour. You can avoid this by running the WASH
programme once a month. When you use a scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Don’t put laundry in the washing machine during the drum cleaning.
Turn the Power & Programme Selection Dial to WASH cycle.
1.
Put the drum cleaning detergent and bleach into the detergent
2.
drawer.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cleaning.

The washing machine will sound when the programme is

complete.
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 and soap water.
Don’t splash water over the washing machine.
•
Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.
•
Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling and pressing the softener cover at the same
1.
time.
Wash out old detergent from the drawer with water. (Use a cloth to clean the washing
2.
machine.)
Residue detergent soon builds up if you don’t clean the drawer regularly, and can develop
mould.
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 Drain Filter
Be careful not to burn yourself while handling your clothes or touching the inside of the
drum after a high temperature wash.
Before cleaning the drain filter, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
Open the Service Flap.

Carefully loosen the drain filter. Water may drain out - this is normal.
