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 every three months to prevent it from clogging and prevent the water from draining properly.
If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.
1.
Remove the kick panel: Using a screwdriver, do that which
is shown in the following figure.
2. Container for the drained water:
Place a low and wide container under the water filter in
order to collect the residual water.
3.
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.
