Question
- How do I access the filter of my washing machine?
- Where is the fluff filter of my washing machine?
- How can I clean the lint filter?
- Where can I find small objects like buttons, hairpins, coins, and remove them from my washing machine?
Answer
- Some models of washing machines are equipped with a self-cleaning drainage system.
- These washing machines have a door seal designed to catch all objects such as coins, buttons, hairpins, etc. before they have the chance to leave the drum and make their way to the drainage area.
- Light fluffy fibres that fall from the clothing are immediately washed away with the water.
- For these washing machine models, it is sufficient to regularly check the rubber door seal for any remaining objects and then remove these objects.
- Cleaning the filter (for models with an accessible filter):
- Open the door flap (located in the bottom right corner of the device).
- Turn the filter to the left without removing it. Allow the water to drain away. Note, provide a catchment tray (for example, an oven tray).
- Then turn the filter to the left and remove it completely from the filter cavity.
- Remove lint and other objects from the filter cavity.
- Check if the pump impeller can rotate in the filter cavity.
- Clean the filter that you removed under the tap
- Place the filter back into the designated guide. Tighten the filter securely to prevent leakage.
- Close the door flap.
- Consult the user manual for more information.
