pump filter. Open the door in an emergency or
perform an emergency evacuation.

unscrew the drain pump filter
b
to drain the
remaining water and then proceed to remove
any debris or objects from the filter.

After cleaning the drain pump filter, carefully
reinsert the filter and screw the drain cap back
in clockwise to avoid cross threading and
leakage. Reinsert the plug back into the drain
tube and place the tube into its holder.
