Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump

Check the fluff 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 blocked, up to

25 litres of water will be retained in the machine.

,Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot. Danger of scalding!

There is a filter flap opener located behind the detergent drawer fascia panel (see illustration).

^ Remove the opener.

^ Use it to open the access flap.

^Place a suitable container under the access flap.

When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the fluff filter completely or take it right out.

^Unscrew the fluff filter lid until water runs out.
