DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
When should I drain residual water (draining problem)?
• Before transporting (moving) the machine.
• If the washing machine is installed in a room subject to sub-
zero temperatures. It is best in this case to drain the machine
after every wash.
1. Stop the washing machine and unplug it.
2. Turn off the tap, disconnect the water supply hose from the
machine and allow the water to drain into a basin.
3. Open the foreign body trap, let the water drain into a small
shallow basin and close the trap.
4. Release the drain hose then open the fixing clip located at the
rear of the machine (see arrow A).
5. Let the residual water flow into a shallow basin.
6. Wait until the flow stops.
7. Fix the drain hose again with the clip and replace it with the U-
bend.
8. Reconnect the water supply hose and the power plug.
Important:
• After draining the residual water, screw on the machine’s
water supply hose by hand. Check water-tightness of washing
machine connections by turning the tap completely on.
Detergent dispenser
1. Push in the buttons on each side of the dispenser.
2. Pull the dispenser towards you and remove.
A small quantity of water can remain in the dispenser. It is
advisable to carry the dispenser in an upright position.
3. Wash the dispenser using running water.
You can also remove the siphon caps in the dispenser for
cleaning.
4. Replace the siphon caps in the dispenser (if removed).
Make sure that they lock in place.
5. Replace the dispenser by locating the bottom tabs in the lid
holes and pivot until both of the upper buttons lock.
Note: ensure that the detergent dispenser is correctly
reinstalled.
