Cleaning the filter

The washing machine is fitted with a special filter
to prevent items such as coins, buttons, etc.
blocking the discharge hose. These may be
retrieved by:
1. Removing the kickplate by gently pulling it
from the bottom in an outwards and
upwards direction.
2. Use the kickplate to collect the water still in
the filter.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw
holding the filter, turn the filter
anticlockwise until it stops, remove it and
clean it. After cleaning it, reassemble
following the above instructions in reverse
order.
Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned
frequently, at least once a month.

Maintenance wash

Using small quantities of detergent and low
temperature wash programmes can cause the
gradual build up of grease, dirt and scale. Over
time these deposits can damage your laundry and
your machine. They can also cause your machine
to smell. We recommend that you carry out a
maintenance wash a couple of times per year to
keep your machine and pipe work clean and free
of these deposits. Simply run the Coton 90
programme without a load and with the normal
quantity of detergent.
This wash will take approximately
2 hours to complete.
