Pump filter maintenance and cleaning
This machine contains a filter system that prevents threads left
over from your laundry and other small materials from entering
the pump during the discharge operation after a completed
wash cycle. This is to protect and prolong the life of the pump .
It is recommended that you clean your pump filter once every 2
months.
To clean the pump filter:
• You may use the washing powder spade
supplied with your machine or liquid detergent
level plate to open the pump cover.
• Lodge the end part of the plastic part to the
opening of the cover and press backwards.
The cover will be opened.
• Pull the black rubber hose and detach
it from its clamp, place a container under
it and remove its plug.
• Collect the discharged water in the container.
