Recommendations for correct maintenance

The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.

It is essential to clean the filters carefully in accordance with the instructions given above: the appliance washer
will be unable to operate correctly if the filters are fouled.

Fit the filters back in place with care before starting a washing program.

13.2 DRYING AIR FILTER - only if present

The air filter of the drying system must be periodically checked and changed. It is installed in the lower part of the
detergent compartment.
The mat filter installed possesses 98% DOP efficiency and should be replaced at least once a year.
This operation is simple to do and the user can carry it out on his own after ordering the spare filter.
Unscrew the screw that holds the filter in place in order to disassemble the filter holder and install the new filter.
The ABSOLUTE 99.99% DOP (HEPA) filter is installed under the 98% DOP filter.
The filter remains efficient until it fully clogs, something that occurs progressively, thus reducing the volume of drying
air. It is advisable to replace the first stage once a year and to visually check to see how much the second filter has
darkened at this time.
The appliance will warn when the absolute filter needs replacing.
A clogged filter contributes to the degradation of the drying performance.
