CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
Switch o and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water lter or draining residual water. If you used a
hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.
Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the lter.
If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water lter may be clogged.
6. Remove the kick panel: Using a screwdriver, do that which
is shown in the following gure.
7. Container for the drained water:
Place a low and wide container under the water lter in
order to collect the residual water.
8. Drain the water:
Slowly turn the lter counter-clockwise until all the water
has come out. Allow the water to ow out without
removing the lter. Once the container is full, close the
water lter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container.
Repeat the procedure until all the water has been drained.
9. Remove lter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water lter,
which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then
remove the water lter by turning it out anticlockwise.
10. Clean the water lter: remove residues in the lter and
clean it under running water.
11. Insert the water lter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the
water lter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make
sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the lter handle must be in
vertical position. To test water tightness of the water lter, you
can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser.
Then reinstall the plinth.
