These numbers are on the rating plate which can be found either on the inside of the hinge on the door (readable when the door is open) or underneath the powder drawer. It is also on the back of the machine.

If your machine has a model number quoted above and a serial number of this type, please contact us by telephoning free on 0800 848 848 or complete and return the coupon below (not reproduced) and we will make sure a service engineer visits you (totally free of charge) as quickly as possible to check your machine and install a new filter if necessary. We wish to stress this is only a precaution and that this problem affects a relatively small number of appliances. Thank you for your co-operation.
