a soft sponge dipped in warm water with a small amount of neutral cleaning agent. Immediately wipe dry

1. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Wash the water supply valve with warm water to release the water supply hose.

4. Pour warm water into the drum of the washing machine and wait 10 minutes.

normally.

If the washing machine is located in a room where there is a risk of it freezing, drain the remaining water inside
the drain and water supply hoses.
