REMOVING THE FILTER/DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year.
A
Especially:
� If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. � If the �Clean filter� indication lights up: IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled before draining the appliance. 1. Stop the appliance and unplug it. 2. Remove the plinth or open the cover (depending on the model) by using the separator of the detergent dispenser (fig. A / B). 3. Place a container beneath it. If your washing machine has the filter situated behind the plinth (see pictures �A� and �C�), use a broad and very flat container with a maximum height of 2 cm. 4. Open the filter but do not remove it completely. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise (fig. C) until the water begins to drain out. 5. Wait until all the water has drained. 6. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it. 7. Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the water to flow out. 8. Clean the filter and the filter chamber. 9. Check that the pump rotor moves freely. 10. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it will go. 11. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer to reactivate the �Eco system�. Check that the filter is inserted properly and securely. 12. Reinstall the plinth or the cover, depending on the model. 13. Plug in the appliance again. 14. Select a programme and start it.
