Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the washing machine:

These filters prevent foreign substances from entering the machine and should be cleaned when they get dirty. This involves closing the taps, removing the nuts of the water intake hoses, and cleaning the filter surfaces with a brush or pliers.

- General Cleaning: The manual advises cleaning the machine's exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. It also recommends cleaning the drum periodically, especially if using low-temperature programs, to prevent odors and mold buildup.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as the machine not starting, water leakage, or excessive foam. It emphasizes the importance of reading the manual carefully before using the product and keeping it for future reference.
