4. DAILY USE & CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
WARNING!
Always switch off and check
that the machine is not
running before accessing or
cleaning the filter.
Filter cartridge is made with
thin Polyamide net in order
to catch the microfibres
released from the laundry
washing process.
After some washing cycles
the filter cartridge will clog
and must be cleaned
Number of cycles before the
activation of floater will
depend on several factors
(kind of textile, drum size,
most used programs, type of
cycles and duration, laundry
load, detergent, degree of
soiling, etc.).
ENGLISH 11

Clean the cartridge regularly,
once a week or when the red
floater indicator is clearly
visible.
When the filter is clogged,
the red floater located inside
the cover becomes visible,
alerting the user that the
cartridge needs to be
cleaned, as shown in the
next picture.
WARNING!
Do not reuse water from the
filter. It may contain micro-
plastic particles that are unfit
for human and animal
consumption.
4.1 "Red alarm" condition
Red floater indicates that the
filter is full and needs to be
cleaned.
In "red alarm" mode (when the floater is activated) the filter will not stop the washing cycle,
but it will work in a bypass mode and will not filter anymore.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended cleaning the cartridge as
soon as possible to avoid leaving the filter in "red alarm" mode.
WARNING!
For several reasons the washing machine could show possible warnings,
linked to draining issues, such as E20-E21. If this warning appears, first
check the new external filter and clean it. If the error remains, check also
the filter of your washing machine and clean it, if it is accessible.
Stopping the washing machine (error) is a safety feature of the machine to avoid long
draining times and to not damage the machine. After the filter cartridge has been cleaned,
normal operation can be resumed.

To detach the cartridge, refer to the
movements in Picture 3:
1. Hold the cover in your hand, then with the
other hand rotate the cartridge
counterclockwise from lock symbol to
unlock symbol (see picture 4 and 5).
2. Pull down the cartridge.
ENGLISH 13

4. To Lock/Unlock the cartridge, refer to Picture
4 and 5:
Lock (picture 4) / Unlock (picture 5).
5.
To clean the cartridge and dispose of its contents, refer to Picture 6, 7, 8
and 9.
6.
If the cartridge is fully clogged, it may be full
of dirty water.
In order to be prepared for the cleaning
operation, it is suggested to use any pot or
small plastic container; this could help the
operation and prevents the environment
around from getting wet.
To remove the remaining water inside the
cartridge, empty it out inside a pot or a
container by holding the assembly cover and
shaking it. The water flows out. In case some
water still remains, proceed with the next
step.
7.
To reset filter, refer to Picture
7.
Before placing the cover back on the
cartridge, reset the floater by removing water
inside the cover. Hold the cover, rotate it (see
picture 7) and drain all the water into a plastic
container. The floater is no longer visible
when the cover is placed on the filter.
A noise could be heard but
this is normal behaviour since
inside the cover there is a
mass valve.
14

8.
Holding the cartridge inside the container, use
the brush-spatula tool available in the filter
box. With up/down brush movement remove
as much as possible the fibres attached to the
cartridge net to help the evacuation of water.
Dispose of waste from the
filter into the general dry
waste.
9.
To preserve the positive impact of the
filter on the environment, avoid the use of
water to clean the filter cartridge. Instead,
throw away the waste collected by the
filter cartridge in the general dry waste
(avoid dispersion of plastic fibre in water
ambient).
10.
After the water has been emptied from the
cartridge, remove any dirt and mircrofibres
from inside the cartridge and dispose of it in
DRY general waste. A paper towel can be
used to collect as much material as possible.
CAUTION!
Waste collected by the
cartridge contains
microfibres, detergent
residuals and dirt. IT MUST
be disposed of in general
dry waste.
After the cartridge cleaning operation, the
brush spatula could be dirty and full of
plastic fibres. To preserve the positive
impact on the environment, clean it with
common paper towels and dispose of it to
general dry waste
ENGLISH 15

To replace the cartridge, refer

body from the top.
2. Rotate the cover clockwise from unlock
symbol to lock symbol.
For any additional information
maintenance and cleaning,
please watch the video. A
dedicated QR code is
available at the beginning of
this user manual.
CAUTION!
Ensure to have closed lid
before proceeding with the
next washing cycle.
WARNINGS
In case of a washing break period longer than a full week (e.g. holiday, trip), it is suggested
to empty the cartridge and clean the filter to avoid creation of unexpected smell into the
environment of the filter.
It is necessary to clean the cartridge in wet condition in order not to damage it, avoiding the
malfunctioning at next cycles used.
The filtration system is provided with spare a cartridge in order to restart immediately with
your laundry routine in case of cartridge damage
Cartridge replacement and disposal
Cartridge has limited life, approximatively six months, since cleaning operation can
damage the net, compromising filter performance. 1 spare cartridge part is included
in the box.
16

Put the waste from the filter
into a suitable recycling
container.
When cartridge has to be replaced, please
follow these 2 simple steps:
1. Clean the damaged cartridge carefully.
2. Put the cartridge and the waste in to a
recycle bin.
For additional cartridge spare parts use only original parts. Cartridges are
sold in any Electrolux/AEG service centre or even online.
