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.
Procedure for draining the machine
^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.
To stop the flow of water:
^Tighten the fluff filter back up again.
