Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the drain pump and lint trap
Occasionally, small objects (buttons, coins, etc.) may become trapped in the lint trap. If the machine does not drain completely, the lint trap should be checked to ensure that it is free of foreign objects.
^Turn off the appliance with the "On / Off" button.
,Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, the water draining out of the machine will still be hot! Allow it to cool before proceeding.
^Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise. Do not remove it. About 2 quarts (2 liters) of water will drain out of the hose.
^To clean the lint trap, remove the tool from behind the detergent dispenser drawer.
If the main drain hose is clogged, water will be retained in the machine (a maximum amount of 6.5 gal [25 l]).
^ Open the access panel. |

If additional water remains in the machine, tighten the lint trap lid and empty the container. Repeat this procedure as often as necessary.
