cleaning the pump filter
Your product is equipped with a filter system
which ensures a cleaner water discharge that
extends pump life by preventing solid items such
as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging
the pump propeller during discharge of the
washing water.
• If your machine fails to drain the water,
the pump filter may be clogged. You may
have to clean it every 2 years or whenever
it is plugged. Water must be drained off to
clean the pump filter.
In addition, water may have to be drained off
completely in the following cases:
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when
moving house)
• when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water;
1- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply
power.
A
There may be water at 90°C in the
machine. Therefore, the filter must be
cleaned only after the inside water is
cooled down to avoid hazard of scalding.
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be
composed of one or two pieces according to the
model of your machine.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on
the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it from both
sides and open it by pulling out.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with
some of our models. Others are not supplied with
this item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure
below:
• Pull out the pump outlet hose from its
housing.
• Place a large container at the end of the
hose. Drain the water off into the container
by pulling out the plug at the end of the
hose. If the amount of water to be drained
off is greater than the volume of the
container, replace the plug, pour the water
out, then resume the draining process.
• After draining process is completed,
replace the plug into the end of the hose
and fit the hose back into its place.
If your product is not supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure
below:
• Place a large container in front of the filter
to receive water flowing from the filter.
• Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until
water starts to flow out of it. Direct the
flowing water into the container you have
placed in front of the filter. You can use a
piece of cloth to absorb any spilled water.
• When there is no water left, turn the pump
filter until it is completely loose and remove
it.
• Clean any residues inside the filter as
well as fibers, if any, around the propeller
region.
• If your product has a water jet feature, be
sure to fit the filter into its housing in the
pump. Never force the filter while replacing
it into its housing. Fit the filter fully into its
housing; otherwise, water may leak from
the filter cap.
4- Close the filter cap.
Close the two-piece filter cap of your product by
pushing the tab on it.
Close the one-piece filter cap of your product by
fitting the tabs on the bottom into their positions
and pushing the upper part of it.
