Hose
Since there is a risk of freezing especially
in the cold areas, the water remaining in
the appliance can frozen and damage the
appliance. In this case, the water
remaining in the pump and hoses should
be drained by removing the pump filter.
Water inlet hoses should also be emptied
by removing them from the taps.
Cleaning the pump filter
• Clean the foreign substance filter
periodically at least for once!
• If the foreign substances (coins, but-
tons, baby socks and etc.) clog the foamy
water pump, clean the filter.
• Before cleaning, empty the water that
remains inside first.
• Hot water danger: There may be 15
liters of hot water at 90°C in the machine.
Open the filter carefully.
Drain the water completely in the follow-
ing situations...
• before cleaning the foreign substance
filter;
• before transporting the machine ( for
example moving into a new house);
• when there is a risk of freezing.
1. Turn off the appliance, unplug the
power cable and close the tap. Wait for
the hot soapy water to cool enough. Oth-
erwise, there is a risk of scalding.
2. Open the service cover by pressing
the button. In order to prevent the little
amount of water that is inside pump spill-
ing over the floor, put a container in front
of the filter cover. Take out the filter by
turning anticlockwise.
3. To loosen the foreign substance filter,
turn it half turn (anticlockwise) and take
the remaining water with a cloth. When
there is no water, turn the foreign sub-
stance filter until it is totally released and
take it out.
4. Clean the foreign substance filter and
pump opening.
5. Reinstall the foreign substance filter
and turn it tightly (clockwise).
6. Close the service cover.
