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 draining residual water (freestanding

models): tilt the appliance forwards carefully (a

second person must help you) to allow the water

to ﬂow out completely.

11. Only for cleaning the ﬁlter: clean the ﬁlter and the

ﬁlter chamber; check that the pump rotor in the

ﬁlter chamber moves freely.

12. Re-insert the ﬁlter and screw it in clockwise as far

as it will go.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
