Draining any remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

Your product is equipped with a filter system. This helps extend the pump's life by preventing
■ ■
solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibres from clogging the pump propeller during
discharge of the washing water.
If your machine fails to drain the water, the pump filter may be clogged.
■ ■
It is recommended that this is cleaned every 30 cycles.
■ ■
Note: water must be drained off prior to cleaning the pump filter, or transporting the machine
(eg when moving house).
Important!
Depending on the programme used, there may be water at 90°C in the machine.
The filter must be cleaned only after the inside water is cooled down to avoid a hazard of scalding.
