4.7.5 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
WARNING:
Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may
cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A
WARNING:
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. Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow
the steps below to discharge the water.
Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose:
a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
b. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by
pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet
of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above
procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.
c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its
place.
d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller
region.
5. Install 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.
