Cleaning and Care
Cleaning and care of the machine should be
carried out, wherever possible, immediately
after use.
On no account use high pressure cleaners or
hose down the machine.
Build-up of rust
The drum and suds container are manufactu-
red from rust-free stainless steel. It is, howe-
ver, possible that water with a high iron con-
tent or foreign bodies in the wash, (e.g. paper
clips or metal buttons), may lead to the forma-
tion of superficial rust spots in the drum
and/or suds container, especially if the machi-
ne is not used for a long time. Stainless steel
components should be cleaned regularly with
a proprietary cleaning agent for stainless
steel. This must be done if rust appears!
Door seals should also be regularly checked
to make sure that nothing has got trapped in
them. Clean them regularly.
After use the detergent box should be cle-
aned with warm water to remove any deter-
gent residues.
The siphon tubes in the dispenser
compartments should also be cleaned.
Pull the siphon tubes upwards to remove for
cleaning in warm water. Replace in the rev-
erse order (the siphon tubes must be hooked
in correctly).

To clean the fluff filter
- This only applies to WS 5100 and WS 5140
with gas heating.-
The fluff filter should be checked regularly
for build-up of fluff and cleaned when
necessary. Carry out this check only after a
programme has finished and the suds contai-
ner has been emptied.
- A blocked filter is indicated by a continuous
humming tone during a programme.-
Clean the filter as follows:
1. Turn the programme selector to "Separate
Drain".
2. Once the suds container is empty turn the
programme selector to "End".
Place a two litre capacity dish under the fluff
filter.
Turn the lid anti-clockwise to open - a half
turn to a complete turn.
The water in the drain filter will drain out.
Take care, the water may be very hot.
Empty the dish and repeat as many times as
is necessary.
