If the machine fails to drain water, the pump
filter is clogged. The filter must be cleaned
whenever it is clogged or every 3 months.
Water must first be drained off in order to
clean the pump filter.
Water may have to be drained completely,
prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when
moving to another house) and in case of
water freezing.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge
the water:
1.Unplug the machine to cut off the power
supply.
2. Open the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces,
press the tab on the filter cap downwards
and pull the piece out towards yourself.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from
both sides at the top to open.
3. The emergency draining hose is model
specific and may not be on your machine.
Follow the steps to discharge the water:
Discharging the water when the product has
an emergency draining hose:
a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from
its seat
b. Place a large container at the end of the
hose. Drain the water into the container by
pulling out the plug at the end of the hose.
When the container is full, block the inlet of
the hose by replacing the plug. After the
container is emptied, repeat the above
procedure to drain the remaining water in the
machine completely.
c. When the draining of the water has
completed, close the end with the plug and
fix the hose in its place.
Discharging the water when the machine
does not have an emergency draining
hose
a. Place a large container in front of the filter
to catch water from the filter.
b. Loosen the pump filter (anticlockwise)
until water starts to flow. Drain the flowing
water into the container placed in front of the
filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to
absorb any spilled water.
c. When there is no more water left inside
the machine, remove the filter completely by
turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well
as fibre's, if any, around the pump impeller
region.
5. Reinstall the filter.
6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces,
close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If
it is one piece, first seat the tabs in the lower
part into their places, then press the upper
part to close.
Warning: Foreign substances left in the
pump filter may damage your machine or
may cause noise problem.
Warning: Temperature of the water inside
the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid
the risk of burns, the filter must only be
cleaned after the water in the machine has
cooled down.
Remove the filter cover by pushing
downwards slightly through the gap above
the filter cover with a thin plastic tipped tool.
Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the
cover.
