Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the drain pump and lint trap
The lint trap generally will require clean- ing only if small items are frequently left in pockets, or if objects containing long fibers or hair (Afghans, dog blankets, etc.) are often washed.
To clean this filter: Remove the tool from behind the detergent dispenser drawer.
Open the lint trap door.
Place a 2 litre (2 quart) capacity dish underneath the drain tube.
Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise
Approx. 2 litres (2 quarts) of water will drain out of the hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more water will remain in the machine (max. 25 l or 5.5 gal.). In this case, tighten the lint trap lid and empty the dish before repeating the procedure as often as necessary.
Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature, the water draining out of the machine will still be hot! Stop and allow it to cool before proceeding.
