Draining any remaining water
and cleaning the pump filter
Filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and
fabric fibers clogging the pump propeller
during discharging of the washing water.
Thus, a good water discharge is achieved
and the pump life is extended.
• 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.

off completely in the following cases:

when moving house)

discharge the water;

machine. the filter must be cleaned
