- Cleaning the Interior: Use a towel or soft cloth around the door opening and glass. Run the Tub Clean program monthly to remove detergent buildup and residue.
- Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter: Turn off water supply, unscrew the hose, and clean the filter with a hard bristle brush, especially if water is hard or contains lime deposits. This prevents the
IE error.
- Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter: Open the cover cap, pull out the hose, drain water, then unscrew and remove the filter by turning it to the left. Remove any threads or small objects. This ensures smooth running and prevents the
OE error.
- Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer: Remove the drawer and inserts, rinse with warm water to remove buildup, and clean the recess with a cloth or non-metal brush.
Freezing Prevention and Handling:
- Prevention: Install the product where it will not freeze. Disconnect the cold supply hose and drain water while keeping the hose facing downwards after washing.
- Handling Freezing: If frozen, pour warm water (50-60 °C) into the drum up to the rubber part, close the door, and wait 1-2 hours. If water supply problems occur, thaw the tap and inlet hose connections with a hot water cloth. If water does not drain, check the drainage unit.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues like:
- Rattling and clanking noise: Check for foreign objects in the drum or pump.
- Thumping sound: Redistribute heavy wash loads.
- Vibrating noise: Ensure transit bolts are removed and feet are firmly on the ground and level.
- Water leaks: Check supply and drain hose connections, and unclog drain pipes.
- Oversudsing: Use the suggested amount of detergent.
- Water not entering/draining: Check water supply, hoses, and filters.
