49
Cleaning the drum, suds con-
tainer and drainage system
The drum, suds container, and drainage
system can be cleaned if necessary.
 Start the Clean machine programme.

Add powder detergent to the

compartment in the detergent drawer.
 At the end of the programme, check
the inner drum and remove any
coarse residues.
Use the Clean machine programme
regularly if you frequently use disin-
fection programmes.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
The washing machine has filters to pro-
tect the water intake valves. Check
these filters every 6 months or so. Per-
form this check more often if there are
frequent interruptions to the external
water supply.
Cleaning the filters in the water inlet
valves
 Using pliers, carefully loosen the nut
on the intake valve and unscrew.
 Use pointed pliers to grip the bar and
pull out the filter; then clean the filter.
Reassemble in reverse order.
The filters must be put back in place
after cleaning.
