To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum, add detergent to the appropriate compartment, close the door, select the desired wash program using the control dial, and press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
Ensure that the machine is plugged in and switched on at the wall socket. Check that the door is properly closed and that you have selected a wash program. If it still doesn't start, examine the fuse or circuit breaker.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out until it stops, then press down the release lever to fully remove it. Wash the drawer under warm water to remove any detergent residue, and then replace it by sliding it back into the slot.
Strange noises may indicate an unbalanced load, foreign objects in the drum, or issues with the machine's motor. Stop the machine, redistribute the laundry evenly, and check for any objects. If the noise persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
To perform a drum clean, remove any laundry from the drum, select the drum cleaning program, and start the cycle. For optimal results, use a washing machine cleaner or a small amount of detergent.
Check for blockages in the drain hose and ensure it is not kinked. Clean the pump filter located at the bottom of the machine. If the issue persists, there may be a problem with the pump, and professional assistance may be required.
To prevent odors, regularly clean the drum and detergent drawer, leave the door open after wash cycles to allow air circulation, and periodically run a hot wash cycle with a machine cleaner or vinegar.
