pump life by preventing solid items such as
buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging the
pump propeller during discharge of the washing
water.
• 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
Therefore, 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 it is composed of one piece, hold it from both
sides and open it by pulling out.
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, 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.
If your product is not supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure
below:
• Place a large container in front of the filter to
receive water flowing from the filter.
• Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water
starts to flow out of it. Direct the flowing water
into the container you have placed in front
of the filter. You can use a piece of cloth to
absorb any spilled water.
• When there is no water left, turn the pump
filter until it is completely loose and remove it.
• Clean any residues inside the filter as well as
fibers, if any, around the propeller region.
• If your product has a water jet feature, be sure
to fit the filter into its housing in the pump.
Never force the filter while replacing it into
its housing. Fit the filter fully into its housing;
otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.
4- Close the filter cap.
Close the two-piece filter cap of your product by
pushing the tab on it.
Close the one-piece filter cap of your product by
fitting the tabs on the bottom into their positions
and pushing the upper part of it.
