Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your washing machine.

• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Drain Hose: Periodically check the drain hose for blockages or kinks. Ensure it is clear for efficient water drainage.
• Water Inlet Filter: If water flow is reduced, check the filter screen at the water inlet connection for debris and clean it if necessary.
