CLEANING THE FILTER

ATTENTION!! Before starting the operations described below, make sure that the washing machine is empty. Do not remove the filter while the machine is running, or when full of water.

The fi lter must be cleaned periodically.

Rinse the filter under running water to eliminate all waste. Replace the filter, screwing in a clockwise direction and making sure it is hermetically sealed.
