Cleaning the Filter
•
Clean the accessible filter if the drain pump is blocked by any
foreign objects.
•
Open the kickplate cover with the aid of a coin and by gently pulling open.
•
Place a container under the drain pump filter to collect any water that
comes out of it (Figure 38).
•
Remove the drainpipe, place it on the container and open the cover. Water
will start to come out.
•
Half- or quarter-turn the filter to the left (Figure 38).
•
Water will start to come out (Figure 38).
•
When all the water has drained out of the washing machine, turn the filter
several times until it can be completely removed by gently pulling on it
(Figure 39).
•
Remove the objects or fluff caught in the filter or the drain pump
(Figure 40).
•
Put the filter and the filter cap back in place.
To avoid risk of scalding, do not carry out this operation when the
wash water is at a temperature of over 30ºC.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washing Machine
•
The outside of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm soapy
water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning products
or solvents.
•
It should then be thoroughly dried with a soft cloth.
Wipe any detergent spills immediately to minimise the risk of
damage to the cabinet of your washing machine.
