Drain Pump Maintenance; Storage; Service And Repair - Akai AK-8KGFLW Instruction Manual

Other Useful Information (Cont.)
• For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washing machine is
disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.
• Do not open the pump filter cover during the course of a wash program.
• If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, take particular care
as any residual water in the machine may be hot. Wait with maintenance until the
water has cooled down to avoid burns.

Drain pump maintenance

In order to avoid blockages created by excess lint, threads or items such as bobby
pins, coins, etc., check the drain pump filter regularly, especially if the machine fails to
drain the water or spin properly, or if you notice any unusual noises during the drain or
spin cycles.
CAUTION:
If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, wait until any
residual water has cooled to a safe level.
1. Place a container underneath the drain pump filter when removing it, and always
keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillage.
2. Insert a coin into the groove of the pump filter
cover and press it. You can now open the
pump filter cover. Any residual water will drain
out of the hose.
3. Turn the filter anticlockwise and pull it out
(Fig. 22).
4. Remove any foreign objects and clean the
filter with water.
5. Reinsert the filter. Turn it clockwise to secure.
Close the pump filter cover.
WARNING! Make sure to reinstall the drain
pump filter and close the cover panel securely,
otherwise water may leak.
