Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
wash.
Open the filter door and
place a container under-
neath to catch any spill-
age. If the filter is blocked
and the machine is unable
to drain you will need to
drain the water manually
from the machine at this
stage. To do this, unhook
the drain hose from the
standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a
bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into
the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up
and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a
fast running tap.
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the pro-
gramme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait
until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retight-
ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able
to remove it.
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime de-
posit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to
time.
Turn off the water taps.
Unscrew the water inlet
hoses. Remove and clean
the filters using a hard bri-
stle brush. Replace the fil-
ters and tighten up the
inlet hoses.
