4.7.5 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.
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.
CAUTION: If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut, remove mains pipe and drain the water inside the machine against any likely freezing.
CAUTION: After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.
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 the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down.
2.Open the filter cover.
3 Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
If the product has an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water:
aPull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
bPlace a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.
cWhen draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
dTurn and remove the pump filter.
