Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, it should be replaced
immediately, during the wash cycle, water pressure
is very strong and a cracked water inlet hose could
easily spilt open.
1 Never use second-hand water inlet hose.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives,
or if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well
enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.
1. Open the detergent dispenser tray fully. Press
down on the drawer catch (1) and pull the tray (2)
from the appliance housing.
2. Remove the liquid detergent cover (3) by grasping
it and pulling it upwards from the detergent
dispenser tray.
3. Clean the liquid detergent cover and the
detergent dispenser tray by holding it under
running water. Lightly wipe away any remaining
detergent residue.
4. Attach the liquid detergent cover and slide the
detergent dispenser tray back in place and close
the tray securely.
Tip: Do not operate the appliance without the
detergent dispenser tray in place. Always keep the
tray completely closed.
Cleaning the mesh filter in the water inlet
hose and the water inlet valve
1. Close water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose.
2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end carefully
with a fine brush.
3. Now unscrew the water inlet hose on the back of
the appliance by hand. Pull out the mesh filter
from the water inlet valve on the back of the
appliance with pliers and carefully clean it.
4. Insert the mesh filter again. Connect the water
inlet hose to the water tap and the appliance again.
Do not use a tool to connect the inlet hose. Open
the water tap and check that all connections are
tight.
