REMOVING THE FILTER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year.
Especially:
•
When the appliance does not drain or spin properly
•
If the pump is blocked by a foreign body (e.g. buttons,
coins or safety pins).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the washing water has had
time to cool before draining the appliance.
1.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2.
Remove the plinth.
3.
Place a container beneath it.
4.
Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely.
Slowly turn the handle anticlockwise until the water
drains out.
5.
Wait until all the water has drained off.
6.
Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
7.
Clean the filter and the filter chamber.
8.
Check that the pump rotor still moves freely.
9.
Insert the filter with the guide pin upwards and screw
it in clockwise to the stop (handle horizontal).
10.
Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent drawer
to reactivate the Eco system. Check that the filter is
seated properly and tightly in place.
11.
Fit the plinth again.
12.
Reinsert the plug in the socket.
13.
Select a programme and start it.
