14.4 Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the
end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign
substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they
do get dirty.
1. Close the taps.
2. 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.

hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under
running water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places
and tighten the hose nuts by hand..
14.5 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 o 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.
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: 1. Unplug the machine to cut o the supply
