Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more dirty
plinth filters in the washing machine.
You will then be able to use the plinth
filter again.
Prior to reactivation, check that the
plinth filter is in good order. Check the
plinth filter following the instructions
provided in “Frequently Asked Ques-
tions – Replacing the plinth filter”. Re-
place the plinth filter if it has worn out.
Wash the plinth filter(s) separately,
not with any laundry items. Do not
add any detergent.
Select a short wash program with a
maximum temperature of 104°F
(40°C) and a maximum spin speed of
600rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycle is complete.
