CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
Switch off and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water filter or draining residual water. If you used a hot
wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.
Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter.
If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.
1.
Container for the drained water:
Place a low and wide container under the water filter in
order to collect the residual water.
2. Drain the water:
Slowly turn the filter counter-clockwise until all the water
has come out. Allow the water to flow out without
removing the filter. Once the container is full, close the
water filter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container.
Repeat the procedure until all the water has been drained.
Remove the dispenser by raising it and
pulling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running water; this
operation should be repeated frequently.
3.
Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter,
which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then
remove the water filter by turning it out anticlockwise.
4. Clean the water filter: remove residues in the filter and
clean it under running water.
5. Insert the water filter: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it
in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the
filter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness
of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the
detergent dispenser.
