CLEANING THE FILTER/ DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER
We recommend that you check and clean the filter
regularly, at least two or three times a year, especially:
• If the “Clean pump” indication lights up.
• If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails
to perform spin cycles.
• If the washing machine stands in a room prone to
frost, you have to drain residual water after each
wash to avoid damages.
IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled
before draining the appliance.
1. Stop the appliance and unplug it.
2. To open the plinth (depending on the model):
- Push down the tabs right and left (if available) to
release the plinth and remove it (pict. 3).
- Remove the plinth by using the siphon inset of
the detergent dispenser: push downwards one
side of the plinth with your hand, then push the
siphon inset into the gap between plinth and
front panel and pry open the plinth (pict. 4).
- For built-in models: unclip the kitchen plinth and
remove it.
3. Place a container near the washing machine.
4. If your washing machine has an emergency drain
hose: Unclip the emergency drain hose, or pull
out the emergency drain hose from the washing
machine’s base (depending on the model).
If there is no emergency drain hose: place a broad,
flat container beneath the filter (pict. 6). Ignore
steps 5 - 8 and proceed with 9.
5. Hold the emergency hose’s end into the container
and remove the stopper (pict. 5).
6. Wait until all the water has drained, then refix the
stopper at the hose’s end (pict. 7).
7. Refix the emergency drain hose to the clip, or
push it back into the washing machine’s base
(depending on the model).
8. Lay an absorbable cotton cloth (e.g. a towel) on
the floor in front of the filter.
9. Slowly open the filter by turning it counter-clockwise
(pict. 8); wait until all the water has drained, then
unscrew the filter completely and remove it.
10. Only for cleaning the filter: clean the filter and the
filter chamber; check that the pump rotor in the
filter chamber moves freely.
11. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far
as it will go.
12. Pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent
dispenser to reactivate the “Eco system”. Check
that the filter is inserted properly and securely and
no water comes out.
13. Reinstall the plinth (pict. 9); if necessary, tilt the
washing machine slightly backwards for doing that
(a second person must help you).
For built-in models: reinstall the kitchen plinth.
14. Plug in the washing machine. It is now ready for
operation again.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the washing machine before doing any maintenance.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops. Press
with your finger on the small depression over the
“PUSH” marking (pict. 10) to release the drawer
and pull it out completely.
2. Remove the siphon from the softener chamber by
pulling it upwards (pict. 11).
3. Wash all the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser compartment with a damp
cloth.
5. Refit the siphon in the softener chamber by push-
ing it down until it stops; then push the dispenser
drawer back into the dispenser compartment.
Water inlet hose (pict. 12, 13 or 14, depending
on model)
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and
cracks and replace it if necessary using a new hose of
the same type.
The inlet hose as shown on picture 13 has a safety
valve to prevent the appliance against uncontrolled
water inlet; if the safety valve inspection window (A) is
red, the safety valve has been activated and the hose
must be exchanged. Contact out After-Sales Service
or your specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose.
For unscrewing the inlet hose as shown on picture 13,
you must push down the release lever (B - if available)
while unscrewing it.
If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (pict.
14), periodically check the colour of the transparent
coating.
If the transparent hose shows a local dark colour
change, this is an indication that the hose may have a
leak and should be replaced.
Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist
dealer to obtain a replacement hose.
Cleaning the mesh filter in the water inlet
hose
1. Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap.
2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water
inlet hose back onto the tap.
3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the
washing machine.
4. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine
connection with universal pliers and clean it.
5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on
again.
6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections
are completely water-tight.
Appliance exterior and control panel
• Wash down with a soft damp cloth. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Appliance interior
• After each washing, leave the door open for some-
time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.
• If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C,
we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C pro-
gramme without laundry, adding a small amount
of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance
clean.
