Draining any remaining water and 

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.
