Cleaning the drain pump andlint trap
Occasionally small objects, (buttons,
coins, etc.), may find their way into the
lint trap. If the machine does not drain
completely, the lint trap should be
checked to ensure that it is free of for-
eign objects.
^To clean the lint trap, remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
^Open the door.
^Open the lint trap door.
^Place a 2 quart capacity container
underneath the drain tube.
^Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise
2 - 3 times. Do not remove it. Approx.
2 quarts of water will drain out of the
hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged, more
water will be retained in the machine
(max. 6.5 gal/25l). In this case, tighten
the lint trap lid and empty the dish be-
fore repeating the procedure as often
as necessary.
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, the water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot! Stop and allow it to cool be-
fore proceeding.
