Care of the machine
Check the needle trap and outlet pump
The machine has a needle trap which
will trap needles, hairpins, coins and
similar items. Clean it at intervals as
follows:
1. Open lower cover, and place a bowl
on the floor in front of the pump (1).
2. Turn the pump cover anticlockwise to
the position shown in (2). This un­
covers the drain holes and water will
run out into the bowl.
3. When the water has finished draining
out, turn the pump cover further and
pull it off. Clean out the needle trap,
and clean the pump rotor at the back
of the pump housing (3).
4. Check that there is no grit or small
objects in the pump, and replace the
pump cover. Turn it clockwise in two
stages: when you hear a click, turn it
a little more to its end stop, as shown
in (4).
Clean the door seal
It is essential that the door seal is kept clean and any buildup of
dirt or limescale is removed frequently. A small amount of
“calgon" or similar added once a week to the wash is advisable
in hard water areas.

container, you can get it out as follows:
1. Undo the screw on top of the paddle with a screwdriver
(three turns).
2. Pull the paddle towards you and lift it upwards.
3. Remove the object. Be careful not to bend the immersion
heater;élements.
4. Locate the paddle in its fixing hole, with the F-mark to the
front (i.e. facing you). Slide the paddle backwards as far
as it will go. Check that its clips are properly located in the
slots in the drum, and retighten the screw.
