CLEANING AND CARE

Pull out the filter with pliers, removing as shown. Clean the
filter and reinstall it.
Reconnect the inlet hose.
Turn on the water supply and make sure there is no
water leakage.
Drain Pump Filter:
The drain pump filter collects lint and small items so it does not pass through the
drain. It should be cleaned approximately once a month depending on frequency of
use.
If the washer does not empty or spin properly or if it makes an unusual noise during
draining, there may be an obstruction.
WARNING: The drain pump filter should not be accessed while the unit is
operating or cycle has just been completed. There may be hot water
in the pump. Allow time for water to cool before access.
NOTE: To avoid spills, place a tray underneath the compartment.
