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 “drum clean”
programme once a month. If you use a scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Maintenance - Cleaning The Washing Machine
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.
Don’t put laundry in the washing machine during the drum cleaning.
1. Turn the Programme Selection Dial to “Drum Clean” .
2. Press the Pause / Start button.
3. The washing machine will sound when the programme is complete.
To prevent build-up of detergent residue, it is recommended to wash the appliance
without any load or detergent once a month.
