4.4.5 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.
The product does not have an emergency water drain hose, in order to drain the water:
a. In order to collect the water to flow out of the filter,
place a large vessel in front of the filter.
b. Turn and loosen the pump filter until water starts to
flow (counterclockwise). Fill the flowing water into
the container you have placed in front of the filter.
Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any
spilled water.
c When the water inside the machine is finished, take
out the filter completely by turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Replace the filter.
6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat
the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
