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.

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 fil- ters using a hard bristle

brush. Replace the filters

and tighten up the inlet hoses.

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.
