The drain filter collects threads and small objects that may have been accidentally left in the clothes. Make sure that the filter is clean every six months to ensure smooth running of your appliance.
Allow the water to cool before cleaning the drain pump filter. Open the door in an emergency or perform an emergency water evacuation.
Unplug the appliance.
Open the cover cap and pull out the drain tube.
Remove the drain plug from the drain tube first, and then drain the water.
Unscrew the drain pump filter slowly 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 carefully to avoid cross threading and leakage. Reinsert the plug back into the drain tube and place the tube into its holder.
Close the cover cap.
Be careful when draining, as the water may be hot.
Run the drum cleaning programme once a month (or more often, as needed) to remove excess detergent and other debris.
