Cleaning the Appliance
Periodically
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
WARNING
• The filters at the water inlet valve may become
clogged due to water quality or lack of required
maintenance and may break down. This may
cause a water leak. Any such breakdowns are out
of the scope of the warranty.
The water inlet filter collects lime or any sediment
that may be in water that is supplied to the
appliance. Clean the inlet filter
every 2 months
or
so, or more often if the water is very hard or
contains traces of limescale.
• Turn off the water supply taps to the appliance if
the appliance is to be left for a certain period of
time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor
drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
1
Turn off the power and the water tap and then
unscrew the water inlet hose.
• To remove the water inlet filter from the
water inlet valve, use a pair of longnosed
pliers to gently pull on the plastic bar in the
filter.
• A second water inlet filter is located in the
tap end of the water inlet hose. To remove
the second water inlet filter, use a pair of
long-nosed pliers to gently pull on the plastic
bar in the filter.
2
Clean the filter thoroughly with a soft brush
and wash with soapy water and rinse
thoroughly.
3
Re-insert the filter by gently pushing it back
into place.
Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
that may have been accidentally left in the clothes.
Make sure that the filter is clean
every 2 months
to
ensure smooth running of your appliance.
Allow the water to cool before cleaning the drain
pump filter.
To clean the pump filter
1
You may use the washing powder spade (*)
supplied with your machine or liquid detergent
level plate to open the pump cover.
2
Lodge the end of the powder spade or liquid
detergent level plate in the opening of the
cover and gently press backwards. The cover
will open.
• Before opening the filter cover, place a
container under the filter cover to collect any
water left in the machine.
• Loosen the filter by turning anticlockwise
and remove by pulling. Wait for the water to
drain.
