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.

• 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.
