Close the taps. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves.
Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are
too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean
them. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water
intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean
thoroughly under running water. Replace the gaskets
and filters carefully in their places and tighten the
hose nuts by hand.
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 (eg.,
when moving to another house) and in case of
freezing of the water, water may have to be drained
completely.
Foreign substances left in the pump filter may
A
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.
Temperature of the water inside the machine
A
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 cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press
the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the
piece out towards yourself.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both
sides at the top to open.
You can remove the filter cover by slightly
C
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.
Some of our products have emergency draining hose
and some does not have. Follow the steps below to
discharge the water.
Discharging the water when the product has an
emergency draining hose:
Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain
the water into the container by pulling out the plug at
the end of the hose. When the container is full, block
the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the
container is emptied, repeat the above procedure
to drain the water in the machine completely. When
draining of water is finished, close the end by the
plug again and fix the hose in its place. Turn the
pump filter to take it out.
Discharging the water when the product does not
have an emergency draining hose:
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.
If your product has a water jet feature, be sure
A
to fit the filter into its housing in the pump.
Never force the filter while installing it into its
housing. Seat the filter into its place completely.
Otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the
filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat
the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and
then press the upper part to close.
