5. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap. To do this push first
the yellow button on the hose.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
6. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the
water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain
hose because, for example, the appliance is built in
the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter
after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water
come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
