Drain filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.
Open the filter door by pulling it towards the right.
Place a container under the filter to catch any
spillage.
Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container, and remove its cap by unscrewing it.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the filter
and remove it.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose,
place the latter back in its seat. Close the filter door.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the
tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

f the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows
to empty out the machine:

•
Close the water tap.
•
If necessary, wait until the water has cooled

•
Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and
place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. The water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap
on again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out.
•
Clean the filter if necessary.
•
At the end screw the filter again.

•
Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the
emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on
the floor and let the water drain out.
