Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser

Periodically remove the detergent dispenser drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue. This prevents blockages and ensures proper dispensing.

Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

The drain pump filter should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages and ensure proper drainage. Locate the filter at the bottom front of the machine, open the cover, and carefully unscrew the filter. Drain any residual water into a shallow container before removing the filter completely. Clean the filter under running water and reinsert it securely.
