minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced after 5 years.

hands.
• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.
• Avoid touching any water that is drained from the appliance during
the wash.
• Make sure that drainage is working properly. If water is not drained
properly, your floor may get flooded.
• When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low,
condensation may occur and thus wet the floor.
• Wipe off dirt or dust on the contacts of the power plug.
