pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the

is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water inlet hose.
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
