CLEANING THE DEBRIS FILTER
We recommend cleaning the debris filter 5 or 6 times a year, or when the error message of “5E” is displayed. (Refer to “Draining the washing machine in an emergency” in the previous page.)
Before cleaning the debris fiilter, make sure to unplug the power cord.
CAUTION
1. Remove the remaining water fiirst (refer to “Draining the washing machine in an emergency” on page 30.)
If you separate the fiilter without draining the remaining water, the remaining water may trickle out.
2. Open the filter cover by using a key or coin.
