To clean the underside of the filter, the
flap must be opened:

^

Pull back the yellow clip to do this.

^

Rinse all parts under running water,
using a nylon brush if necessary.

^

Then close the flap so that the clip
engages. Important: After cleaning
make sure that the clip has properly
engaged.

^

Replace the filter combination so that
it lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.

^

Secure the filter by turning the handle
in a clockwise direction.

,

Take care when you are fitting

the filter combination that it is
secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.
