Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff filter and
pump

Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4
washes to ascertain how often it is
likely to require cleaning.

The opener for the fluff filter panel is on
the side of the detergent dispenser
drawer towards the rear.

Open the panel

Place a dish underneath the drain fix-
ture.

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2 - 3
times. 

Do not

 take it right out.

Approx. 2 litres of water will drain out
of the hose.

If the drain outlet is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine

(max. 25 l)

. In this case, screw the fluff

filter back into position and empty the
dish before repeating the procedure as
often as necessary.

Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature,
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot!
