Cleaning the water-supply
filter
Clean the filter if water is not supplied
properly.
1. Turn the tap off.
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 the appliance,
disconnect the hose from the tap,
and then clean the filter on hose in
the same way.
8. Reconnect the water-supply hose.
Tighten the plastic joint firmly.
9. Turn on the tap, 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 get clogged up
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.
