SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Unplug your machine.
Close the water tap.
WATER INLET FILTERS
On the tap part of your machine’s water inlet hose and at the ends of water
inlet valves, there are filters to prevent entrance of the dirt and foreign
materials in the water to the machine. If the machine is unable to receive
sufficient water although your water tap is opened, these filters should be
cleaned.
Remove the water inlet hose.
Remove the filters found on the water inlet valves by using pliers and
wash thoroughly with a brush.
Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses located on the tap side by
removing manually together with the seal.
After you clean the filters, you can fit them the same way as you have
removed.
PUMP FILTER
The pump filter system extends the life of your pump, which is used to drain
the dirty water. It prevents dirt entering the pump. Cleaning of your pump filter
in every 2-3 months is recommended. To clean your pump filter:
Turn of the machine at the electricty supply.
Remove the kickplate by pushing with your hand upwards from the
lower indents under the cover and pulling towards yourself.
Before opening the filter cover,place a cup in front of the filter cover
to prevent flow of the remaining water in the machine.
Loosen the filter cover by rotating it counter clockwise and drain the
water.
Remove the foreign materials from the filter.
Check for the rotation of the pump manually.
After you have cleaned the pump, fit the filter cover by rotating
clockwise.
Replace the kickplate by clipping it back into position.
Do not forget that if you do not fit in the filter cover properly, it will
leak water.
