Warning!
When the appliance is in use and depend-
ing on the programme selected there can
be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the appliance
has finished the cycle, and is empty. When
refitting the pump cover, ensure it is se-
curely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and
young children being able to remove it.

If you notice that the machine is taking lon-
ger to fill, check that the filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked.

2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

brush or with the piece of cloth.

ously described;
