situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge
processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.
· Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of
100 cm. · In case the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the floor
level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet.
Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.
· To prevent the waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure
easy drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do
not insert it into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it
short.
· The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the
hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.
· If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original
extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid
water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain

4.4.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter The filter system
in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers
clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water
will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will
extend. If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged.
Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must
be drained off first to clean the pump filter. In addition, prior to
transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of
freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.
A CAUTION: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine
or may cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water: 1. Unplug the
machine to cut off the supply power.
A CAUTION: Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC.
To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine
cools down.
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.
C You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin
plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal
tipped tools to remove the cover.

Follow the steps below 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 water in the machine completely. c. When draining of
water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its
place. d. Turn the pump filter to take it out. 4. Clean any residues inside
the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region. 5.
Install 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, seat the tabs in the
lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
