Cleaning the drainage system
Check the fluff filter, initially after 3 - 4
washes to ascertain how often it is likely
to require cleaning.
Under normal conditions approx. 2
litres of water will drain out of the ma-
chine when the fluff filter is removed.
However, if the drain outlet is blocked,
more water will be retained in the ma-
chine
(max. 25 litres)
.
,
Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding or burn-
ing.
^
Switch the machine off (either open
the door or switch off at the mains
and withdraw the plug).
^
Open the drain access flap.
^
Place a suitable container (2 litres)
underneath the drain fixture.
^
Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.
Do
not
take it right out. Approx. 2
litres of water will drain out.
If there is a blockage more water than
this will drain out and the container will
need to be emptied several times.
To stop the flow of water:
^
Secure the fluff filter back into posi-
tion.
^
Empty the container and repeat the
process until all the water has been
emptied.
