CLEANING THE FILTER
Clean the accessible filter if the drain pump
is blocked by any foreign objects.
a Remove the kickplate by pulling gently
on its edges and turning it downwards,
to release the clips.
If you do not have access from the side,
insert a small screwdriver into the three
slots at the top of the kickplate, in order
to get leverage and release the clips.
b Place a container under the drain pump
filter to collect any water that comes out
of it.
c Half- or quarter-turn the filter to the left.
Water will start to come out.
d When all the water has drained out of
the washing machine, turn the filter
several times until it can be completely
removed by gently pulling on it.
e Remove the objects or fluff caught in the
filter or the drain pump.
f
Put the filter and kickplate back in place
again.
To avoid burns, do not carry out this
operation when the wash water is at
a temperature of over 30ºC.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE
The outside of the washing machine should
be cleaned with warm soapy water or a gentle
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning
products or solvents.
It should then be thoroughly dried with a soft
cloth.
