7.5 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.
