order to remove possible corruptive residues from time to time. Add a small amount of
detergent in washing agent compartment (2) - or use a special machine cleaner

es like lime clean regularly the inlet valve filter.

supply.

they cause rust stains and damage.

stains. Observe the warning hints of the cleaning
agent manufacturer.
