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. 30 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 burning.
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
