Water inlet hose filter
Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year). 1. Unplug the washing machine. 2. Turn off the tap. 3. Unscrew the hose from the tap. 4. Carefully clean the filter located at the end of hose, without assembling it, for example with a tooth-brush. Note: For machines equipped with hose type �A�, it must not be submerged in water. 5. Screw the flexible hose back onto the tap by hand. Do not use pliers (risk of squashing the joint). 6. Turn on the tap and check that the connections are watertight. 7. Plug the washing machine back in.

Recovering an object that falls between the drum and the tub
If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the tub, you can recover it thanks to one of the removable drum blades: 1. Unplug the washing machine. 2. Remove the laundry from the drum. 3. Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half-turn. 4. Using a screw-driver, press on the plastic end while sliding the blade from left to right. 5. It will fall into the drum. 6. Open the drum: you can recover the object through the hole in the drum. 7. Refit the blade from inside the drum: Position the plastic tip above the hole on the right side of the drum. 8. Then slide the plastic blade from right to left until it clips. 9. Close the drum flaps again, turn the drum through half a turn and check the positioning of the blade at all its anchorage points. 10. Plug the washing machine in again.
