In the event the washer will not drain under its own power due
to a power outage or clogged drain pump you can drain the
water left in the drum manually.
With the wash tub and drain hose drained of all water and
the drain spout snapped in place, follow these directions to
remove, clean, and reinsert the pump filter.
1. “Unscrew” the filter and pull it out.
2. Dump the filter and inspect the opening for any loose
objects.
3. Rinse the filter completely before putting it back in place.
NOTE
Removing the pump cleanout door completely may be
necessary to place your catch pan under the drain spout.
NOTE
You may have to add about 2 litres of clean water through the
mainwash detergent compartment to reprime the drain pump.
With a catch pan ready, pinch the two flaps on the sides drain
spout and flip it down.
4. “Screw” filter back in place until it stops. The arrow on the
drain spout should be pointing upward.
5. Reinstall pump cleanout door if removed earlier.

Check to make sure O-ring is in place before reinserting
pump filter. Take care to not cross threads when turning
pump filter during reinsertion.
