Rinse holes under the paddle
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper
clips may have fallen into the wash drum, you
should check the space under the paddles. Such
objects can rust and cause spots on clothing.
Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in
fabrics.
Do as follows:
1. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the hole
on the paddle as illustrated and carefully push
to the left.
2. Use your other hand to grasp the paddle and
pull it toward you.
3. Lift the paddle.
4. Remove any objects.
5. Place the paddle in the mounting hole with the
F-mark toward you. Ensure that all the paddle
fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push
it in until it catches.
If you have hard water
If you live in an area with hard water (high
limescale content), a grayish-white coating may
form on the wash drum. To remove this coating,
pour approximately 20 gram (1 oz) of citric acid
into the wash drum and run any 203 °F (95 °C)
program. Repeat if necessary.
