^ Clean the inside of the fluff filter hous-
ing.
Remove any deposits of limescale and
detergent or foreign objects from the
thread of the filter housing and filter unit
as they can cause water to leak.
Limescale deposits are often a sign of
using too little detergent.
^ Put the fluff filter back in place and
secure it.
Make sure the fluff filter is securely
tightened. Otherwise there is a risk
of water leakage during use.
^ Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the
detergent dispenser compartment
j to reactivate the ball valve which
keeps detergent in circulation in the
suds.
