Switch off the appliance and drain the water (see next paragraph “Draining residual water”). Place a tray or container beneath the cover. Slowly turn the filter anticlockwise without unscrewing it completely (using pliers to handle the filter grip makes screwing easier). Wait until all the water has drained off. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it. Remove any foreign material from the filter. Insert the filter and screw it in clockwise firmly until it locks. Pour 1/2 litre of water into the detergent drawer and check that water does not leak from the filter. Check the filter two or three times a year and clean it if necessary. • Check the filter if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. • Remove the filter if the pump is blocked by an object (buttons, coins, safety pins, etc. ). IMPORTANT: Make sure the water has had time to cool before draining the appliance. 2 6 4 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER 1. Switch off the appliance. 3. Unclip the drain hose connection on the rear part of the machine (see arrow A and B). 4. Place a container in suitable size beside the machine. Note: After a correct draining cycle the residual water amounts about up to 1 litre but there can be up to 20 litres of water in the machine if stopped during a programme and even 40 litres if the pump is blocked. 5. Lower the drain hose into a container and let the water drain. Note: Make sure that the water has cooled before draining. Fix again the drain hose on the rear side of the machine (see arrow B) otherwise there is the risk of leakage and the normal filling and draining functions of the machine cannot be guaranteed. [. . . ] Do not cut the hose and do not immerse the plastic enclosure in water. Drain hose • Drain hose connection to water outlet. 1. Unhook the drain hose from the left clip; see arrow (A). Important: Do NOT loosen the drain hose connection; see arrow (B), otherwise there is the risk of leakage (danger of scalding with hot water) and the normal filling and draining functions of the machine cannot be guaranteed.
