5.5 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:
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.
Open the filter cover by pulling it from both
sides at the top.

INFORMATIONS
You can remove the filter cover by slightly
pushing downwards with a thin plastic
tipped tool, through the gap above the
filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to
remove the cover.
Follow the steps below to discharge the water.
Place a large container in front of the filter to
catch water from the filter. Loosen pump filter
(anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. 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.
When the water inside the machine is finished,
take out the filter completely by turning it.
Clean any residues inside the filter as well as
fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
Install the filter.
Seat the tabs in the lower part into their places
first, and then press the upper part to close.
