appliance. Keeping the door open
after a wash will also help to 3
preserve the door seal.

8.4 Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature
washes it is possible to get a build
up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a
maintenance wash be performed
on a regular basis.
24 www.electrolux.com

To aid cleaning, the top part of the

additive compartment should be
removed.

8.6 Cleaning The Drawer Recess

Having removed the drawer, use a
small brush to clean the recess,
ensuring that all washing powder
residue is removed from the upper
and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the
rinse program without any clothes

8.8 Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter
may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

To clean the water inlet filters:

1. Close the water tap.
2. Remove the water inlet hose from
the water tap.
3. Clean the filter in the inlet hose
with a stiff brush.

4. Remove the inlet hose behind

the appliance.

Make sure that the couplings are
tight to prevent leakages.
