To do this, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it towards you.
2.
Wash the detergent drawer with warm water and a small, soft-bristled brush, then
dry with a soft cloth.
3.

Cleaning the water supply hose filters

cleaned regularly.

Stop the washing machine and unplug the power cord.
2.
Turn off the tap.
3.
Unscrew the water supply hose from the water inlet and washing machine
connection point.

Remove the filters and their seals and clean them thoroughly using tap water and a
suitable brush. If the filters are very dirty, you can remove them using pliers.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the drain pump filter
Your appliance is equipped with a filtration system that prevents solid matter (buttons,
coins and fibres) from obstructing the drain pump blades.
If your appliance does not drain the water, the filter may be clogged. The water must be
drained manually in order to clean the pump filter.
Furthermore, you may have to drain the water completely in the following cases:
•
before transporting the appliance (if moving home, for example),
•
if there is a risk of frost.
