DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER /
CLEANING THE FILTER
We recommend that you check and clean the pump
lter regularly, at least two or three times a year,
especially:
› If the “Clean pump” indication lights up.
› If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails
to perform spin cycles.
If the washing machine stands in a room prone to
frost, you have to drain residual water after each
wash to avoid damages.
Make sure the water has cooled before draining the
appliance.
1. Turn o the appliance and unplug it. 4. Place a at container near the washing
machine.
2. To open the plinth (depending on the model),
push down the tabs right and left (if available) to
release the plinth and remove it
5. If your washing machine has an emergency
drain hose, unclip the emergency drain hose.
If there is no emergency drain hose: place a broad,
at container beneath the lter. Ignore steps 6-9
and proceed with 10.
3. Remove the plinth by using the siphon insert
of the detergent dispenser: push downwards one
side of the plinth with your hand, then push the
siphon insert into the gap between plinth and front
panel and pry open the plinth. 6. Hold the emergency hose’s end into the
container and remove the stopper.
