We recommend cleaning the debris filter 5 or 6 times a year, or when the error message of "5E" is
displayed. (Refer to "Draining the washing machine in an emergency" in the previous page.)
Before cleaning the debris filter, make sure to unplug the power cord.
CautIon
1. Remove the remaining water first (refer to "Draining the
washing machine in an emergency" on page 25.)
If you separate the filter without draining the remaining
water, the remaining water may trickle out.
2. Open the filter cover by using a key or coin.
3. Unscrew the emergency drain cap by turning it to the left
and drain off all the water.
4. Unscrew the debris filter cap.
5. Wash any dirt or other material from the debris filter. Make
sure the drain pump propeller behind the debris filter is not
blocked.
6. Replace the debris filter cap.
7. Replace the filter cover.
Do not open the debris filter cap while the machine is running or hot
water may flow out.
CautIon
• Make sure to replace the filter cap after the filter cleaning. If the
filter is out of the machine, your washing machine may malfunction or leak water.
• The filter should be fully assembled after the filter cleaning.

You should clean the water hose mesh filter at least once a year, or when the error message of "4E" is
displayed:
1. Turn off the water supply to the washing machine.
2. Unscrew the hose from the back of the washing machine. To prevent water from gushing out
due to the air pressure in the hose, cover the hose with a cloth.
3. Gently pull out the mesh filter from the end of the hose using a pair of pliers and rinse it under
water until clean. Also clean inside and outside the threaded connector.
4. Push the filter back into place.
5. Screw the hose back onto the washing machine.
6. Make sure the connections are watertight and turn on the tap.
