Cleaning and care
The filters in the water inlet valve (1) and in the inlet
hoses (2) should be checked from time to time for
soiling and cleaned if necessary.
When the machine is not in use
If the machine is not going to be used for a longer
period of time (4 weeks or more) the drum should be
rotated several times after the last use. The drum
should then be rotated every 4 weeks to prevent
damage to the bearings.

The filter should be checked regularly for blockages
and clean when necessary.
,
Carry out this check only after a programme
has finished and the suds container has been
emptied.
