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 wa-
ter will be retained in the machine
(up
to 25 litres)
.
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain-
ing 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.
