Draining any remaining water and cleaning the pump filter
Your product is equipped with a filter system which ensures a cleaner water discharge that extends pump life by preventing solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging the pump propeller during discharge of the washing water.
•If your machine fails to drain the water, the pump filter may be clogged. You may have to clean it every 2 years or whenever it is plugged. Water must be drained off to clean the pump filter.
In addition, water may have to be drained off completely in the following cases:
•before transporting the machine (e.g. when moving house)
•when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water;
1- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
AThere may be water at 90°C in the machine. Therefore, the filter must be cleaned only after the inside water is cooled down to avoid hazard of scalding.
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be composed of one or two pieces according to the model of your machine.
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 from both sides and open it by pulling out.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with some of our models. Others are not supplied with this item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:
•Pull out the pump outlet hose from its housing.
•Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water off into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. If the amount of water to be drained off is greater than the volume of the container, replace the plug, pour the water out, then resume the draining process.
•After draining process is completed, replace the plug into the end of the hose and fit the hose back into its place.
If your product is not supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:
•Place a large container in front of the filter to receive water flowing from the filter.
•Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow out of it. Direct the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. You can use a piece of cloth to absorb any spilled water.
•When there is no water left, turn the pump filter until it is completely loose and remove it.
•Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the propeller region.
•If your product has a water jet feature, be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter while replacing it into its housing. Fit the filter fully into its housing; otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.
4- Close the filter cap.
