Cleaning the pump filter
This filter collects any small items that you
may have inadvertently left in the clothes and
prevents them from disrupting the pump's
operation.
To clean it, proceed as follows:
When the drum is full (for example, if
there is a power cut), there can be up
to 15 litres of water that must be drained
away: provide a large enough
receptacle.
Take precautions, the water to be
drained may still be scalding hot.
- Remove your machine's power cable from
the socket.
- Open the access hatch by pressing on the
button (Fig. 12).
- Tilt the chute in front of the filter towards
your receptacle,
- To control the flow of water coming out,
slightly unscrew the filter by turning it anti-
clockwise,
- If your receptacle becomes full before you
have drained the machine completely,
screw in the filter, empty your receptacle
and then start again until there is no more
water,
- Then open the filter by turning it anti-
clockwise and empty the small amount of
water from the filter's lid (30ml maximum).
- Remove any residue left in the filter's
housing,
- Clean the filter,
- Replace the filter in its housing and lock it
in place by turning it clockwise.
- Refit the chute
- Close the filter access hatch.
Ensure that the filter is correctly
repositioned to avoid any water leaks.
Cleaning the filters
Cleaning the filters on the water
supply
The filters at the point where the water hose
is connected to your machine and to the tap
prevent dirt and small objects entering your
machine. We recommend that you clean
them from time to time.
Proceed as follows to clean them:
- First of all, close the water tap,
- Unscrew the part of the hose that is
connected to the back of your machine,
- Remove the filter from the back of your
machine using a pair of pliers and wash it
under the tap,
- Refit the filter and the hose,
- Unscrew the hose connected to the water
tap,
- Remove the filter with your hands and clean
it under the tap
- Refit the filter and the hose,
