Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump

Check the fluff (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.

Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel, (see illustration above).

^Open the flap.

^Place a dish under the drain fixture.

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

With large volumes of water, when the dish is full screw the fluff filter back into position, and empty the dish before re- peating the procedure.
