Rust Stains
Never leave metal items e.g. paper clips, safety pins etc. in

stains remove with a non-chlorine agent. Special non-metal
sponges (never use steel wool) may also be used.

should be drained out after use.
qRemove Fluff Filter
qLocate the drain hose and drain the water.
qDisconnect inlet hose from the tap and drain.
DRAINING DURING EMERGENCIES
In case of a long power failure during a programme run, the water
can be drained from the drum through the drain hose
qAllow the water in the machine to cool down sufficiently.
qLocate the drain hose and pull out the drain hose to drain water in a large
shallow container.
qBefore restarting machine, ensure that drain plug is fixed on drain hose
properly and fluff filter water line is filled with water by running the
machine without any clothes or detergents.
