Checking the filter and drain pump
The washing machine has a filter, where
coins, hairpins, and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drain pump:
1.
Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the main power
switch.
2.
Open the hatch for the drain pump as
shown in the illustration.
3.
Drain out the water, into a bowl, for exam-
ple, by unhooking the drainage hose from
the pin inside the hatch.
4.
Open the pump by unscrewing the cover
counterclockwise. Remove the cover with
the filter.
5.
Remove any objects or debris from the
pump housing. Check to see that the pump
impellers at the back will rotate.
6.
Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin, and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Pull the detergent compartment out as far as
it will go.
Then pull it up and out as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Rinse the compartment and scrub it clean.
Replace the compartment.
Note!
Do not run the detergent compartment
through a dishwasher!
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 ma-
chine.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
