To ensure the drum is thoroughly clean after testing and storage, select programme 1 and run the machine for a complete cycle using only wash detergent and water.
If the machine is not to be used immediately, switch off the mains power supply and remove the plug from the power socket. We also recommend that the water stop taps are turned off.
Note: it is advisable to isolate the washing machine from the water and electricity supplies after each wash.
