LEANING THE FILTER
I
►
THE WATER
DRAIN FILTER
A clean filter is important for
correct functioning of the
machine, and should therefore
3e cleaned after every wash.
Open the panel covering the
filter and place a container
underneath to catch any
spillage.
If the filter is blocked and the
machine is unable to drain you
will need to drain the water
from the machine at this stage.
To do this, unhook the drain
hose from the standpipe or sink
and hold the end of the hose
over a bowl on the floor. The
water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl
is full, hook the hose back up
and empty the bowl. Repeat
the procedure until the water
stops flowing out.
Unscrew the filter.
Remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast¬
running tap.
WARNING
When the appliance is in use
and
depending
on
the
programme selected there can
be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during
a wash cycle, always wait until
the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty. When
replacing the filter, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to
stop leaks and young children
being able to remove it.
THE WATER
INLET FILTERS
If your water is very hard or
contains traces of lime deposit,
the water inlet filters may
become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to
clean them occasionally.
Turn off the water taps, run
a programme for a second or
two, to release the pressure in
the
hoses
and
prevent
spurting, then unscrew the
water inlet hoses.
Remove and clean the filters
using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filters and
tighten up the hoses.
