washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding!

With large volumes of water the
container will need to be emptied
several times. Secure the fluff filter back
into position and empty the container
before repeating the procedure. To stop
the flow of water: Tighten the fluff filter
lid again.
