FM Page 12 Tuesday, March 2, 2004 5:08 PM 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 water has had time to cool before draining the appliance. Open the filter cover with the help of the coloured insert from the detergent container (shape depending on model). Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely. Slowly turn the handle anticlockwise until the water drains out. Wait until all the water has drained off. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener compartment and the coloured insert for liquid detergent). Replace the parts and refit the detergent dispenser. Insert the detergent dispenser in the washing machine. Mesh Filters in the Water Connection Check and clean regularly. For washing machines with a straight inlet hose 1. Turn off the tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely watertight. For washing machines with Water Stop hose 1. Turn off the tap and unscrew the Water Stop hose from the tap. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connection is completely water-tight. 13 Black process 45. 0° 100. 0 LPI 4GB05129. FM Page 14 Tuesday, March 2, 2004 5:08 PM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. [. . . ] If the fault persists, please contact After-Sales Service (see “After-Sales Service”). “Water Stop” fault (if fitted) The “Water Stop” fault may have been triggered by: 1. In this case the pump is switched on automatically in order to pump the water out. For models with a fault display, the “Water Stop” indication flashes and the spin speed indication lamps flash.
