Removing The Filter; Draining Residual Water - Whirlpool AWO 7120 Instructions For Use Manual

REMOVING THE FILTER

We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year.
Especially:
• If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to
perform spin cycles.
• If the pump is blocked by a foreign body (e.g. buttons,
coins or safety pins)
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled
before draining the appliance.
1. Stop the appliance and unplug it.
2. Open the filter cover. Open the filter cover with the
aid of the coloured insert from the detergent
container.
3. Place a container beneath it.
4. Open the filter but do not remove it completely.
Slowly turn the filter anticlockwise until the water
begins to drain out.
5. Wait until all the water has drained.
6. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
7. Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
8. Check that the pump rotor moves freely.
9. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it
will go (handle must be horizontal).
10. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer
to reactivate the "Eco system". Check that the foreign
body trap is inserted properly and securely.
11. Close the cover and lock it.
12. Plug in the appliance once again.
13. Select a programme and start it.
