Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your washing machine.

6.1 Cleaning the Detergent Drawer

Remove the detergent drawer and rinse it under running water to clear any detergent residue. Clean the housing of the drawer with a brush if necessary. The ABT materials help prevent mold and bacteria buildup.

Periodically run a drum clean cycle (if available) or a hot wash with no laundry and a descaling agent to remove any buildup. The Pillow Drum design is gentle on clothes and easy to maintain.

6.3 Cleaning the Water Filter

Your machine includes a built-in water filter. Refer to the diagram in the full manual for its location. Regularly clean the filter to prevent blockages and ensure proper drainage.
