Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump

Check the drain filter initially after 3-4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning.

With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out.

If the drain outlet is clogged, more wa- ter will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres).

Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water drain- ing out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding.

^ Place a dish under the drain spout.

^Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out.

With large volumes of water the dish will need to be emptied several times. Se- cure the fluff filter back into position and empty the dish before repeating the procedure.

^Use the (yellow) filter flap opener supplied with the machine to open the access flap.
