- Use a Cottons programme without pre-wash.
- Set the temperature to the level recommended on the drum cleaning agent which can be provided from authorised services.
- Apply this procedure without any laundry in the product.
- Before starting the programme, put 1 pouch of special drum cleaning agent (if the special agent could not be supplied, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale) into the main wash detergent compartment.

- Cleaning the Water Intake Filters: There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they get dirty.
- Close the taps.
- Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves.
- Clean them with an appropriate brush.
- Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.

- Place a large container at the end of the hose.
- Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose.

- Turn the pump filter to take it out.
- Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
