Descaling The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. The water inlet filters If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to time. Clean the filters using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hoses.
