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 (eg., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

AForeign 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.

ATemperature 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.

If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.

C 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 tools to remove the cover.

3.Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.
