USER MAINTENANCE Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter and pump

Check the fluff (drain) 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 clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres).

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

Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel, (see illustration above).

Open the flap.

Place a dish under the drain fixture.

Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times. Do not take it right out.

With large volumes of water, when the dish is full screw the fluff filter back into position, and empty the dish before re- peating the procedure.
