5.5 Draining remaining water and

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items
such
as
buttons,
coins
and
fabric
fibers
clogging
the
pump
impeller
during
discharge

water.
Thus,
the
water
will
be
discharged
without
any
problem

of the pump will extend.
If
the
machine
fails
to
drain
water,
the
pump
filter
is
clogged.

drained
completely.
