The Pump Filter - Beko WMB 81242 LM 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
CAUTION: 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:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A
CAUTION: 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.
2. Open the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press
the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the
piece out towards yourself.

NOTE : You can remove the filter cover by
slightly pushing downwards with a thin
plastic tipped tool, through the gap above
the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped

hose and some does not have. Follow the steps
below to discharge the water.
Discharging the water when the product does not
have an emergency draining hose:
a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch
water from the filter.
b. 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.
c. When the water inside the machine is finished,
take out the filter completely by turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as
fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Install the filter.
6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close
the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one
piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their
places first, and then press the upper part to close.
