Cleaning the water supply
filter
Clean the filter if water is not supplied
properly.
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Switch on the appliance.
3. Select the Cotton programme, and
then press the Start button.
4. After 1 minute, switch off the
appliance. Water has drained out of
the water supply hose.
5. Disconnect the water supply hose
from the appliance.
6. Clean the filter, which is on the rear
of the appliance.
Use a small brush, for example, a
toothbrush.
7. If the unit is supplied with the hose
fitted with a water supply valve, turn
off the tap supplying water to the
appliance, disconnect the hose from
the tap and then clean the filter on
the hose in the same way.
8. Reconnect the water supply hose.
Tighten the plastic joint firmly.
9. Turn on the tap and then check for
leaks.
Preventing a frozen
water supply hose
If the appliance is delivered in freezing
weather conditions, after setting up, leave
it at room temperature for 24 hours before
using. This will ensure that the water supply
hose does not become clogged with ice.
If your water supply hose freezes, perform
the following procedures:
1. Wrap warm towels around the joints
of the water supply hose.
2. Add 2 to 3 litres of warm water to the
drum.
3. Start washing with the Drain only
function, using the Mode button.
