Vent grille
^ Check and clean regularly the wash water vent gril-
le at the rear of the machine.
Rust
The drum and the wash water drum are made of
stainless steel. Water with a high iron content or items
like paper clips or iron buttons which are in the
laundry, can lead to rust in the drums.
^ To help prevent rust, a conditioner for stainless
steel can be used.
^ Check the door gasket for iron residue and clean
with stainless steel conditioner.
^ Clean regularly.
Leave the drum door open after use for the interior
to air dry.
Water inlet filters
^ Check and clean regularly the filters in the water in-
take faucets, and the water intake hoses.
Maintenance during downtime
^ When the machine is not used for an extended time
(4 weeks or more), the drum needs to be rotated
manually a couple of times to prevent bearing da-
mage. Repeat every month.
