Cleaning the Filter

sClean the accessible filter if the drain pump is blocked by any foreign objects.

sOpen the kickplate cover with the aid of a coin and by gently pulling open (Figure 36).

sPlace a container under the drain pump filter to collect any water that comes out of it (Figure 37).

sRemove the drainpipe, place it on the container and open the cover. Water will start to come out.

sHalf- or quarter-turn the filter to the left and water will start to come out (Figure 37).

sWhen all the water has drained out of the washing machine, turn the filter several times until it can be completely removed by gently pulling on it (Figure 38).

sRemove the objects or fluff caught in the filter or the drain pump (Figure 39).

sPut the filter and the filter cap back in place.

To avoid risk of scalding, do not carry out this operation when the

wash water is at a temperature of over 30ºC.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washing Machine

sThe outside of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm soapy water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or solvents.

sIt should then be thoroughly dried with a soft cloth.

Wipe any detergent spills immediately to minimise the risk of

damage to the cabinet of your washing machine.
