Cleaning the Filter
s
Clean the accessible filter if the drain pump is blocked by any
foreign
objects.
s
Open the kickplate cover with the aid of a coin and by gently pulling open
(Figure
36).
s
Place a container under the drain pump filter to collect any water that
comes out of it (Figure 37).
s
Remove the drainpipe, place it on the container and open the cover. Water
will start to come out.
s
Half- or quarter-turn the filter to the left and water will start to come out
(Figure
37).
s
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
38).
s
Remove the objects or fluff caught in the filter or the drain pump
(Figure
39).
s
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
s
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.
s
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.
