CLEANING THE FILTER
THE WATER
DRAIN FILTER
A clean filter is important for
correct
functioning
of the
washing machine, and should
therefore
be cleaned
after
every wash.
Open the panel covering the
filter and place a container
underneath
to catch
any
spillage.
If the filter is blocked and the
machine is unable to drain you
will need to drain the water
from the machine at this stage.
To do this, unhook the drain
hose from the standpipe or sink
and hold the end of the hose
over a bowl on the floor. The
water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl
is full, hook the hose back up
and empty the bowl. Repeat
the procedure until the water
stops flowing out.
Remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast-
running tap.
When the appliance is in use
and
depending
on
the
programme selected there can
be hot water in the filter.
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. This will
prevent leaks and also stop
young children being able to
remove the filter.
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.
Turn off the water taps.
Unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Remove and clean the filters
using a hard bristle brush.
Replace
the filters
and
tighten up the inlet hoses.
