Cleaning the water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct operation of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every wash- ing programme.
Place a container underneath to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage.
To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.
The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.
