Loading the Washing Machine

Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces of the washing machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser

Regularly remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent the buildup of detergent and fabric softener residues. Rinse it under running water and dry thoroughly before reinserting.

Drum Cleaning

The drum is made of plastic. To maintain hygiene and prevent odors, periodically run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a hot wash with no laundry and a small amount of detergent or a specialized washing machine cleaner).

Filter Cleaning

The pump filter should be cleaned periodically to ensure proper drainage and prevent blockages. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for the exact location and procedure for cleaning the pump filter.
