drain hose
cleaning the drain filter
A
Be careful not to burn yourself while cleaning the drain filter. Water draining from
the filter compartment may be hot after a high temperature wash.
Before cleaning the drain filter, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
1. Open the service panel. Place a suitable container under the service panel to catch the water.
2. Rotate emergency drain hose cap anti-clockwise and pull out the emergency hose. Take off the
cap and let the water drain. After the water has drained, replace cap and return hose to original
position. Turn clockwise to screw back into place.
3. Carefully loosen the drain filter. Water may drain out - this is normal.
4. Unscrew the filter to remove it.
5. Remove any lint and debris before carefully replacing the filter.
6. Turn the filter clockwise to screw back into place. Close the service panel.
preventing a frozen water supply hose
If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions,
leave it at room temperature for 24 hours after you've set it up before
using it. This ensures there's no ice blocking the water supply hose. If
your water supply hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the
drum. Then run a "Drain" only programme.
cleaning the filter net of the water supply hose
1. Turn the water supply off at the tap.
2. Close the washing machine door and select "Drain" programme and press the Start/Pause
button.
3. When finished, turn the power off. Remove the water supply hose from the tap.
4. Manually remove the filter net located on the tap side of the water supply hose and clean using
a small brush (e.g. a toothbrush).
5. Return the filter net to its original position.
6. Re-connect the water supply hose to the tap and turn the tap back on, checking for leaks.

Questions and answers
Will the machine stop after a prewash so you can then add more washing detergent before the main wash?
Yes, the Kenwood K1016WM17 machine allows for adding more detergent after a prewash. For excessively dirty clothes, 1/4 of the detergent should be added in compartment (1) of the detergent drawer for the prewash, and the remaining amount should be added in compartment (II) for the main wash.
