This symbol guides you, step by step, in the operation of the appliance. [. . . ] Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, pull it (slightly at first till the stop the pull hard). To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed. 59 Cleaning and maintenance Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning. Drain filter The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in. Water inlet filter If it takes longer to fill up the washing machine it is time to check the water inlet hose filter. Unscrew the fixing nut of the inlet hose. Remove the filter from the electrovalve and clean it with a hard bristle brush and replace it. 60 Cleaning and maintenance Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: · pull out the plug from the power socket; · close the water tap; · if necessary, wait until the water has cooled; · place a bowl on the floor; · put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again. Frost precautions If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: · Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. · Place the end of the drain hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. · Select the draining programme and run it until the machine stops. · Remove the plug from the socket. · Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C. 61 Something not working? If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.
