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. ). [. . . ] If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 50084 approved type).

A For models with Water Stop hose “B” If the flexible hose is damaged, unplug the appliance from the mains immediately. 1. Screw the threaded connector with the filter inserted onto the tap. [. . . ]
