5.4 Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the
rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake
hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters
preventforeignsubstancesanddirtinthewatertoenterthe
washingmachine.Filtersshouldbecleanedastheydoget

1.Closethetaps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access
thefiltersonthewaterintakevalves.Cleanthemwithan
appropriatebrush.Ifthefiltersaretoodirty,takethemout

3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake
hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly
under running water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places
andtightenthehosenutsbyhand.
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

Inordertocleanthedirtyfilteranddischargethewater:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
Awarning: 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.
