Cleaning the trap and the drainage
pump
The washing machine has a trap where smaller
objects such as coins and hairpins can collect.
To clean the trap and the drainage pump, do as
follows:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water and
switched off at the mains.
2. Open the door.
3. Unhook the drainage hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a
suitable container, such as a shallow bowl.
4. Turn the cover anti-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover.
5. Remove any items and so forth from the pump
housing and the cover. Also check that the
pump blades right at the back rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage hose
on the hatch pin and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent

NOTE!
Do not wash the detergent compartment or the
insert in a dishwasher!
Open the detergent compartment and remove the
insert. Rinse the insert and scrub it clean with a
washing-up brush. Wipe up any detergent left
inside the detergent compartment. Replace the
insert in the detergent compartment.

Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the program
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use any
solvents, as these can damage the machine.
NOTE!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow clothes to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine. These,
in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95 °C
wash programme once a month. When you do
this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any washing in the machine.
