Care and Maintenance
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
IMPORTANT:
• Before cleaning the drain filter, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
• Be careful not to burn yourself while cleaning the drain filter. Water draining from the
filter compartment may be hot after a high temperature wash.
1. Open the service panel by prying open with a flat-
bladed screwdriver on both sides and the middle.
Place a suitable container under the service panel
to catch the water.
2. Carefully loosen the drain filter. Water may drain out - this
is normal.
3. Unscrew the filter to remove it.
4. Remove any lint and debris before carefully replacing the
filter.
5. Turn the filter clockwise to screw back into place. Close the service panel.
