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.
