Fig. 11 GB 98 Cleaning the filters Cleaning the pump filter This filter collects any small items that you may have inadvertently left in the clothes and prevents them from disrupting the pump's operation. To clean it, proceed as follows: When the drum is full (for example, if there is a power cut), there can be up to 15 litres of water that must be drained away: provide a large enough receptacle. Take precautions, the water to be drained may still be scalding hot. - Remove your machine's power cable from the socket. - Open the access hatch by pressing on the button (Fig. 12). - Tilt the chute in front of the filter towards your receptacle, - To control the flow of water coming out, slightly unscrew the filter by turning it anticlockwise, - If your receptacle becomes full before you have drained the machine completely, screw in the filter, empty your receptacle and then start again until there is no more water, - Then open the filter by turning it anticlockwise and empty the small amount of water from the filter's lid (30ml maximum). - Remove any residue left in the filter's housing, - Clean the filter, - Replace the filter in its housing and lock it in place by turning it clockwise. - Refit the chute - Close the filter access hatch. Ensure that the filter is correctly repositioned to avoid any water leaks.
