Pump filter

It is advisable to clean the pump filter 5 or 6 times a year to prevent its clogging. A clogged pump filter may reduce the bubble effect.

1. Turn off the washing machine, and

Aunplug the power cord.

2. Drain the remaining water inside the drum by referring to “Emergency drain” on page 43.

3. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.

4. Turn the pump filter knob (A) to the left, and drain off the remaining water.

5. Clean the pump filter using soft brushes. Make sure the drain pump propeller inside the filter is unclogged.

6. Reinsert the pump filter, and turn the filter knob to the right.

NOTE

• Some pump filters feature a safety knob that is designed to prevent accidents by children. To open the safety knob of the pump filter, push in and turn it anticlockwise. The spring mechanism of the safety knob helps open the filter.

• To close the safety knob of the pump filter, turn it clockwise. The spring makes a rattling sound, which is normal.

NOTE

If the pump filter is clogged, an information code of “5C” appears on the screen.

CAUTION

Make sure the filter cap is closed properly after cleaning the filter. Otherwise, this may cause a leak.

Make sure the filter is inserted properly after cleaning it. Otherwise, this may cause an operational failure or a leak.
