Maintenance
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home.
If you are on vacation or don't use your washer for an extended period of time,
you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supplier to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are
away.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
Filters are used to avoid dirt and foreign substances in the water from entering
the machine. These are on the tap and on the ends of water valves along the
water inlet hose of your machine.
• If your machine cannot take sufficient amounts of water despite the tap
being open, these filters should be cleaned.
• Detach the water inlet hoses.
• Remove the filters on water inlet valves using pliers and then clean it with
a brush in water.
• Disassemble the filters on the tap end of the water inlet hoses manually and
clean it.
• Having the filters cleaned, you can fit them in the same way reversely.
• Filters of water inlet valves may be clogged due to a contaminated water
tap, lack of necessary maintenance or valves may be broken. Which will
cause water to leak into your machine continuously. Breakdowns or faults
that may arise because of these reasons are not covered under
manufacturer's guarantee.
