Draining Remaining Water And Cleaning The Pump Filter - Beko WMB 61011 CS N User Manual

5.5 Draining remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents solid items
such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump
impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water
will be discharged without any problem and the service life of
the pump will extend.
If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged.
Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3
months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump
filter.
In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when
moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the
water, water may have to be drained completely.
A
WARNING
Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your
machine or may cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A
WARNING
Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC.
To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the
machine cools down.

Follow the steps below to discharge the water.
Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water
from the filter. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water
starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you
have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth
handy to absorb any spilled water. When the water inside the
machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning
it.
Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any,
around the pump impeller region. Install the filter.
Seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then
press the upper part to close.
