Looking after your appliance
Before cleaning your washing machine.
a: Unplug your machine from the mains power supply.

• While closing the pump cover, ensure that the parts
on the inner side of the cover match the holes on the
front panel side. (5-A)
• You can reattach the pump cover in the reverse order
that you removed it.
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 even though your water tap is
fully opened, filters should be cleaned.
Danger of being scalded!
The water inside the pump maybe hot- wait
for it to cool.
(*) Machinery specifications may vary depending on the
product purchased.
• Remove the water inlet hose.
• Remove the filters found on the water inlet valves by
using a pincer and wash thoroughly with a brush. (1)
• Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses located on
the tap side by removing manually together with the
seal. (2)
• After you clean the filters, you can fit them the same
way as you have removed them.
Pump filter
The pump filter system elongates the life of your pump,
which is used to drain the dirty water. It prevents dirt
entering the pump. Cleaning of your pump filter every
2-3 months is recommended. To clean your pump
filter:
• To open the pump cover, you can use the powder
detergent spade (*) or liquid detergent level plate
coming out of your machine. (1-A & 2-A)
• Before opening the filter cover, place a cup in front of
the filter cover to prevent flow of the remaining water in
the machine.
• Clean the foreign materials in the filter with a brush
and flush with clean water. (3-A)
• Check for the rotation of the pump manually.
• After cleaning the filter, fit the filter cover and tighten it
by rotating it in clockwise direction. (4-A)
• Remove the foreign materials from the filter.
• Do not forget that if you do not fit the filter cover
properly, it will leak water.
