CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE DETERGENT
DRAWER
1. Pull the drawer out as far as it goes then lift it up and
pull it out completely, as illustrated.
2. Clean the drawer with a
soft brush under warm
running water. Do not put
the drawer into a
dishwasher.
3. Replace the drawer by
tilting it into position.
CLEANING THE PIN TRAP
Your washing machine has a pin trap designed to trap
pins, hairpins, coins and similar items. This trap should
be cleaned occasionally. To do this, follow the steps
below:
1. Make sure as much water as possible is drained out
of the tub then turn off the power to the machine.
2. Using the flat edge of the
liquid detergent partition
piece, a flathead screw-
driver or similar item,
gently pry open the drain
pump cover, as shown.
3. There is always a small amount of water in the drain
pump area. Before you open the drain cover, place a
shallow container, such as a pie pan, on the floor
below the drain to catch the water.
4. Pull the small black
drain hose loose from its
position on the door
cover and let the water
drain into the pan.
5. Unscrew the pin trap cover and lift it out.
6. You can now clean out
any grit or small objects.
You should also clean the
pump rotor at the back of
the pump housing.
7. Replace the drain cover and reconnect the drain hose
securely to its position on the door.
CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth.
To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and
electrical components, never spray water or cleaning
solvents on the control panel. Also, never use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because
they will scratch the finish and could remove the writing
on the control panel. Some paper towels may also
scratch the finish.
WARNING!
Never spray clean the control panel. You could damage the
electrical components. Also, never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads or paper towels on the outer surfaces because
they will scratch the finish and they could remove the writing
on the control panel.
REMOVING AN OBJECT FROM
BETWEEN THE DRUM AND
OUTER CONTAINER
Occasionally, a small item may fall between the drum
and the outer container. Such items should be removed
because they could corrode and cause rust stains on
the laundry. To remove the item, follow the instructions
below:
1. Insert a flathead
screwdriver in the center
hole in the paddle and
carefully push it to the left.
2. Grip the paddle with your
other hand and pull it
toward you.
3. Lift up the paddle and
remove the object.
4. Replace the paddle in its
fixing hole with the F-mark
toward you. Check that the
paddle clips are properly located in the slots and slide
the paddle toward the back as far as it will go.
REMOVING HARD WATER STAINS
FROM THE DRUM
If you live in an area with hard water, the washer drum
may become coated with a grey-white deposit. To
remove it, pour about an ounce of citric acid in the drum
and run a Normal wash program at 205° F.
