by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose.
If the amount of water to be drained off is
greater than the volume of the container,
replace the plug, pour the water out, then
resume the draining process.
• After draining process is completed, replace
the plug into the end of the hose and fit the
hose back into its place.
If your product is not supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the
figure below:
• Place a large container in front of the filter to
receive water flowing from the filter.
• Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water
starts to flow out of it. Direct the flowing
water into the container you have placed in
front of the filter. You can use a piece of cloth
to absorb any spilled water.
• When there is no water left, turn the pump
filter until it is completely loose and remove it.
• Clean any residues inside the filter as well as
fibers, if any, around the propeller region.
• If your product has a water jet feature, be
sure to fit the filter into its housing in the
pump. Never force the filter while replacing
it into its housing. Fit the filter fully into its
housing; otherwise, water may leak from the
filter cap.

cleaning the pump filter
Your product is equipped with a filter system
which ensures a cleaner water discharge that
extends pump life by preventing solid items such
as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging
the pump propeller during discharge of 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.
In addition, water may have to be drained off
completely in the following cases:
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when
moving house)
• when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water;

model of your machine.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on
the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
