Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter to prevent
items such as coins, buttons, etc. blocking the discharge hose.
These may be retrieved by:
1. Removing the kickplate by gently pulling it from the
bottom in an outwards and upwards direction.
2. Use the kickplate to collect the water still in the filter.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw holding the filter,
turn the filter anticlockwise until it stops, remove it and
clean it. After cleaning it, reassemble following the above
instructions in reverse order.
Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned frequently, at least
once a month.
Maintenance wash
Using small quantities of detergent and low temperature wash
programmes can cause the gradual build up of grease, dirt and
scale. Over time these deposits can damage your laundry and
your machine. They can also cause your machine to smell. We
recommend that you carry out a maintenance wash a couple
of times per year to keep your machine and pipe work clean
and free of these deposits. Simply run the Cottons 90°C
programme without a load and with the normal quantity of
detergent.
This wash will take approximately 2 hours
to complete.
