Inlet water filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake
valve at the back side of the machine and also at
the end of each water intake hose where they are
connected to the tap. These filters prevent the
foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter
into the machine. Filters should be cleaned as they
get dirty.
• Close the taps.
• Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to
clean the surfaces of the filters on the water
intake valves with an appropriate brush.
• If the filters are very dirty, you can pull them
out by means of pliers and clean them.
• Take out the filters on the flat ends of the
water intake hoses together with the gaskets
and clean thoroughly under streaming water.
• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully to
their places and tighten the hose nuts by
hand.
Draining any remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
Filter system in your machine prevents solid items
such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging
the pump propeller during discharging of the
washing water. Thus, a good water discharger is
achieved and the pump life is extended.
• If your machine fails to drain the water, the
pump filter may be clogged. You may have
to clean it every 2 years or whenever it is
plugged. Water must be drained off to clean
the pump filter.
In addition, water may have to be drained off
completely in the following cases:
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when
moving house)
• when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water;
1- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
There may be water at 90°C in the machine.
A
the filter must be cleaned only after the inside
water is cooled down to avoid hazard of
scalding.

2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be
composed of one or two pieces according to the
model of your machine.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on
the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
If your machine is built-in, then it does not
C
contain a filter cover.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it from both
sides and open it by pulling out.
You can remove the filter cover by slightly
C
pushing the kick plate downwards with a
screwdriver, through the gap above the filter
cover.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with some
of our models. Others are not supplied with this
item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure
below:
• Pull out the pump outlet hose from its
housing.
• Place a large container at the end of the
hose. Drain the water off into the container
by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose.
If the amount of water to be drained off is
greater than the volume of the container,
replace the plug, pour the water out and then
resume the draining process.
• After draining process is completed, replace
the plug into the end of the hose and fit the
hose back into its place.
