Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter.
Cleaning the door glass
Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and
residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.
Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.

The machine makes a different noise when spinning! This is because it has a brush motor for better performance.
Only a small level of water can be seen in the drum! This is because new machines do not use much water, yet achieve the same standard of washing and rinsing.
