To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the dispenser. Next, select your desired wash program using the program selector dial. Finally, press the 'Start' button to begin the cycle.
Ensure that the washing machine is properly plugged into a power source and that the power is turned on. Check if the door is firmly closed. If the machine still doesn’t start, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker in your home.
To clean the detergent drawer, remove it by pulling it out fully and pressing down on the release lever. Rinse the drawer thoroughly under warm water to remove any detergent residue. Dry the drawer and place it back into its compartment.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer, checking and cleaning the filter, and running an empty hot water cycle with vinegar or a specialized cleaner to remove limescale and detergent build-up.
Check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the filter is not clogged with debris. Additionally, verify that the drainage pump is operational. Consult the manual for specific instructions on filter cleaning.
Ensure the machine is level by adjusting the feet accordingly. Make sure the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum. Avoid overloading the machine with too much laundry.
Leave the door open after each wash to allow the interior to dry. Regularly clean the detergent drawer and door seals. Consider running a monthly cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner.
To reset the washing machine, turn off the appliance and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on. This may reset any electronic controls.
Error code E3 typically indicates a problem with the machine's spinning function. Check that the laundry is properly balanced in the drum and that the load is not too heavy.
Use cold water wash settings whenever possible and ensure full loads to maximize efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and checking hoses, will also help in maintaining optimal performance.
