Step 4. Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical position.
Remove the filter and clean.
Step 5. Replace the filter and turn in a clockwise direction until locked in position.
Replace the stopper in the hose and close the filter cover.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned frequently, at least once a month.
Maintenance wash
Using small quantities of detergent and low temperature wash programmes can cause
the gradual build up of grease, dirt and scale. Over time these deposits can damage
your laundry and your machine. They can also cause your machine to smell. We
recommend that you carry out a maintenance wash a couple of times per year to keep
your machine and pipe work clean and free of these deposits. Simply run the Cottons
90°C programme without a load and with the normal quantity of detergent.
Defects you can remedy yourself
Before calling Hoover Service for technical advice please run through the following
checklist. A charge will be made if the machine is found to be working or has been
installed incorrectly or used incorrectly. If the problem persists after completing the
recommended checks, please call Hoover Service (tel: 08705 400 600); they may be
able to assist you over the telephone.
NOTE:
The initial spin at the beginning of the washing cycle is a normal
phase of the program and not a machine fault.
The machine will not start…
●Close the door. Check that there is power to the machine. Select a programme
and press Start Pause. Check if the door locked light is illuminated.
If it is not, check the following:
1. Is the machine connected to the electrical supply?
2. Is the electrical supply OK? Check another socket.
3. Has the fuse on the machine blown? If so, replace it.
●If the door locked light is illuminated and the machine does not start this means
that the machine cannot fill with water, check the following:
1. Check the programme dial is correctly aligned with the programme.
2. Is the water supply to the machine switched on?
3. Are the pipes kinked or restricted in any way?
Water does not drain away… (error 3 will be displayed)
●Ensure that there is not a blockage in the drain hose or the hose is not kinked.
●Is the drain hose installed correctly? If connected to the sink waste make sure you
have cut the membrane or removed the bung from the under sink drainage unit.
●Check for foreign bodies in the filter. If present, clean the filter.
●If you have found any of the above problems correct them and run the machine
through a spin cycle to drain the water.
