Cleaning the water inlet strainers
There is a strainer at the end of each
water inlet valve at the back side of
the washer and also at the end of
each water inlet hose where they
are connected to the faucets. These
strainers prevent the foreign substances
and dirt in the water to enter into the
washer. Strainers should be cleaned
from time to time.

Cleaning the drain pump filter
Filter system in your washer prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and
fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller
during discharging of the washing
water. Thus, a good water discharge is
achieved and the pump life is extended.

may have to clean it occasionally to
prevent any clogging. Water must be

from the power supply.
A WARNING - There may be water at
158F (70°C) in the drum. Therefore,
the filter must be cleaned only after

2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap
may be composed of one or two pieces
according to the model of your washer.
If it is composed of two pieces, press
the tab on the filter cap downwards and
pull the piece out towards yourself.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it
