REMOVING THE FILTER

We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year.
Especially:
• when the appliance does not drain or spin properly.
• If the "Clean pump" indication lights up.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the washing water has
had time to cool before draining the appliance.
1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the plinth.
3. Place a container beneath it.
4. Pull out the hose "A" and remove the cap from the hose,
so that the water can flow into the container beneath.
5. As soon as no more water flows out of the hose, slowly
turn the filter "B" anticlockwise without opening it
completely.
6. Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely. Slowly
turn the handle anticlockwise until the water drains out.
7. Wait until all the water has drained off.
8. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
9. Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
10. Check that the pump rotor still moves freely.
11. Insert the filter with the guide pin upwards and screw
it in clockwise to the stop (handle horizontal).
12. Close hose "A" with the cap and push it completely
back into the machine.
13. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer
to reactivate the Eco system. Check that the filter is
seated properly and tightly in place.
14. Fit the plinth again.
15. Reinsert the plug in the socket.

DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

When should the residual water be removed?
• To transport the machine (relocation).
• In a frost-endangered room. In this case, it is
recommended that the machine be emptied after each
wash cycle.
Before emptying the residual water, switch the
appliance off and unplug it from the mains socket.
1. Remove the plinth cover.
2. Grasp the cap and pull out together with the hose. Place
a low container beneath it. Pull off cap from end of hose.
3. Drain the water into a low container until no more
water flows out. Then close the residual water drain
hose and insert it again.
Before using the washing machine again:
1. Pour approx. 1 litre of water into the detergent
drawer to reactivate the Eco system.
2. Reinsert the plug in the socket.
