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. Remove the plinth by using the separator of the
detergent dispenser (fig. "A").
3. Place a container beneath it.
4. Open the filter but do not remove it completely.
Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise (fig. "B") 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.
10. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer
to reactivate the "Eco system". Check that the filter is
inserted properly and securely.
11. Reinstall the plinth.
12. Plug in the appliance again.
13. Select a programme and start it.

DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

Before emptying the residual water, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the mains socket.
Remove the plinth. Place a container beneath it.
1. Open the filter but do not remove it completely. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until the
water begins to drain out.
2. Wait until all the water has drained.
3. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
4. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water to flow out.
5. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it will go.
6. Reinstall the plinth.
Before using the washing machine again:
1. Pour approx. 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer to reactivate the "Eco system".
