Cleaning the drain pump filter
WARNING!
• Be careful of the hot water!
• Allow detergent solution to cool down.
• Unplug the machine to avoid electrical shock before washing.
•
The drain pump filter can trap yarn and small foreign objects from the washing.
• Clean the filter periodically to ensure normal operation of the appliance.
Caution!
• Make sure the filter and emergency drain hose are reinstalled properly; fittings
must be correctly aligned otherwise water may leak.
• Some machines don’t have an emergency drain hose; rotate the lower cover
cap directly to let the water run into a bowl.
• When the appliance is in use and depending on the program selected there
may 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 replacing the cover, ensure it is securely re-tightened.
