Cleaning the pump filter
• Clean the foreign substance filter
periodically at least for once!
• If the foreign substances (coins, buttons,
baby socks and etc.) clog the foamy water
pump, clean the filter.
• Before cleaning, empty the water that
remains inside first.
• Hot water danger: There may be 15 liters
of hot water at 90°C in the machine. Open
the filter carefully.
Drain the water completely in the following
situations...
• before cleaning the foreign substance
filter;
• before transporting the machine ( for
example moving into a new house);
• when there is a risk of freezing.
1. Turn off the appliance, unplug the pow-
er cable and close the tap. Wait for the hot
soapy water to cool enough. Otherwise,
there is a risk of scalding.
2. Open the service cover by pressing the
button. In order to prevent the little amount
of water that is inside pump spilling over
the floor, put a container in front of the
filter cover. Take out the filter by turning
anticlockwise.
3. To loosen the foreign substance filter,
turn it half turn (anticlockwise) and take the
remaining water with a cloth. When there
is no water, turn the foreign substance fil-
ter until it is totally released and take it out.
4. Clean the foreign substance filter and
pump opening.
5. Reinstall the foreign substance filter and
turn it tightly (clockwise).
6. Close the service cover.
