Odours

The appliance has an odour.

Cause

Are you using the appliance for the first time?

Solution
  • The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to the appliance interior. This smell is a normal feature of rubber and disappears automatically after using the appliance several times.

Cause

Do you smell an odour during use?

Solution
  • When washing clothes, use detergent in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If you use more detergent than recommended, undissolved detergent may accumulate on the clothes and cause an odour.

  • Clothes left in the washer or dryer after a programme may develop an odour. Unload the clothes promptly at the end of the drying or washing cycle.

  • If the odour is coming from the washer, clean the washer tub following the instructions in the washing machine owner's manual.

  • Clean both lint filters after each programme. Lint residue left in the filter may cause odours. After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.
