4. Drain filter

T

he drain filter collects threads and small

objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check
regularly that the filter is clean.

Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.

Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (drain pump is
blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged),
proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

■

pull out the plug from the power socket; 

■

close the water tap; 

■

if necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down;

■

place a bowl on the floor;

■

put the drain hose end into the bowl and let
the water come out.

Should it not be possible to have access to the
drain hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
