Maintenance
Debris filter
Clean the debris filter bi-monthly to prevent clogging. A clogged debris filter may reduce the
bubble effect.

Turn off the washing machine, and
unplug the power cord.
2.
Drain the remaining water inside the
drum. See the “
Emergency drain
”
section.
3.
Gently press the top area of the filter
cover to open.
4.
Turn the
debris filter knob
to the left,
and drain off the remaining water.
5.
Clean the debris filter using soft brushes.
Make sure the drain pump propeller
inside the filter is unclogged.
6.
Reinsert the debris filter, and turn the
filter knob to the right.
NOTE
•
Some debris filters feature a safety knob
that is designed to prevent accidents
by children. To open the safety knob
of the debris 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 debris
filter, turn it clockwise. The spring makes
a rattling sound, which is normal.

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

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