Cleaning

Surface of the washing machine

Use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive household detergent. Do not spray water onto the washing 
machine.

Debris filter

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

1. 

Turn off the washing machine, and unplug the power cord.

2. 

Drain the remaining water inside the drum by referring to 

Emergency drain

” on page 

35

.

3. 

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

4. 

Turn the debris filter cap to the left, and drain off the remaining 
water.

5. 

Remove the debris filter.

6. 

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

7. 

Reinsert the debris filter, and turn the filter cap to the right.

•  To open the safety filter cap, push in and turn it 

anticlockwise. The spring of the cap helps to open the 
cap.

•  To close the safety filter cap, turn it clockwise. The 

spring makes a rattling sound, which is normal.

•  If the debris filter is clogged, an error code of “

5E

” 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.
