REMOVING THE FILTER
DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
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 pump is blocked by a foreign body (e.g. buttons, coins or safety
pins)
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has had time to cool before
draining the appliance.
1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Open the filter cover. Open the filter cover with the help of the
coloured insert from the detergent container (shape depending on
model).
3. Place a container beneath it.
4. Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely. Slowly turn the
handle anticlockwise until the water drains out.
5. Wait until all the water has drained off.
6. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
7. Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
8. Check that the pump rotor moves freely.
9. Insert the filter with the guide pin upwards and screw it in clockwise
to the stop (handle horizontal).
10. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer to reactivate the Eco
system. Check that the foreign body trap is seated properly and tightly in
place.
11. Fold the cover up and lock it.
12. Reinsert the plug in the socket.
13. Select a programme and start it.
Before emptying the residual water, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the mains socket.
Open the cover to the foreign body trap. Open the filter cover with the help of the coloured insert from the
detergent container. Place a container beneath it.
1. Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely. Slowly turn the handle anticlockwise until the water drains
out.
2. Wait until all the water has drained off.
3. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
4. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water to flow out.
5. Insert the filter with the guide pin upwards and screw it in clockwise to the stop (handle horizontal).
6. Fold the cover up and lock it.
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.
