Miele W1986 Washer User Manual


 
Cleaning the drain pump and
lint trap
Occasionally, small objects (buttons,
coins, etc.) may become trapped in the
lint trap. If the machine does not drain
completely, the lint trap should be
checked to ensure that it is free of
foreign objects.
^ To clean the lint trap, remove the tool
from behind the detergent dispenser
drawer.
^
Open the lint trap door.
^
Place a 2 quart capacity container
underneath the drain tube.
^ Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise
2 - 3 times. Do not remove it. About
2 quarts of water will drain out of the
hose.
If the main drain hose is clogged,
additional water will remain in the
machine. In this case, tighten the lint
trap lid and empty the container.
,
Caution: If the laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, the
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot. Allow it to cool before
proceeding.
