CARE AND CLEANING
● Washing the Filter in the Appliance
1. Unscrew the inlet hose from the backside
of the machine.
2. Pull out the filter with long-nose pliers,
and reinstall it after cleaning (see Fig.
21).
3. Reconnect the inlet hose.
4. Turn on the tap, and make sure there is
no water leakage.
● Removing Foreign Objects
● Drain Pump Filter: The filter collects lint and
small foreign objects. Clean it periodically to
ensure normal operation of the appliance.
CAUTION! Drain water may be hot enough
to cause burns. Wait for the water to cool.
1. Ensure the water has cooled down inside
the appliance.
2. Drain the excess water from the drain
pump using the spin cycle.
3. Disconnect the appliance.
4. Gently clean the pump.
NOTE: According to the soil level within
the cycles and the frequency of the cycles,
regularly inspect and clean the filter. The
pump should be inspected if the machine
does NOT empty and/or spin, or the
machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins
or coins blocking the pump.
5. Open the service panel. Place a con-
tainer nearby to collect any spillage from
cleaning (see Fig. 22).

6. When water no longer spills out, unscrew
the pump cover and remove it. Always
keep a rag nearby to dry up any spillage
of water when removing the cover.
7. Remove any objects.
8. Fully screw the pump cover in.
9. Close the service panel.
CAUTION! Burn Hazard. When the appliance is
in use there may be hot water in the pump depend-
ing on the cycle selected. NEVER remove the pump
cover during a wash cycle. Wait until the appliance
has finished the cycle and is empty. When replacing
the cover, ensure it is securely tightened to avoid leaks
and to prevent children from removing it.
● Winterizing/Storing when temperatures drop
below 32° F (0° C):
1. Remove the remaining water in the drain
pump by running the spin cycle.
2. After spin cycle is complete, disconnect
the power plug or disconnect the power
source.
3. Shut the water valves off, and let any hot
water in the hoses and machine cool be-
fore continuing.
4. Disconnect the drain and inlet hoses,
and drain any excess water.
CAUTION! The hot water hose may still
contain hot water.
5. Open the service panel located on the
bottom front-right side of the appliance.
6. Place a container and/or rags close to the
screw cap to collect any excess water.
7. Unscrew to remove cover. Excess water
will drain as the cover is removed.
8. Once all excess water has been re-
moved, replace the cover.
9. Close the service panel.
