Miele W 149 Washer User Manual


 
Cleaning the fluff (drain) filter
and pump
Check the drain filter initially after 3-4
washes to ascertain how often it is likely
to require cleaning.
With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of
water run out.
If the drain outlet is clogged, more wa
-
ter will be retained in the machine (up
to 25 litres).
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain
-
ing out of the machine will still be
hot. Danger of scalding.
^
Use the (yellow) filter flap opener
supplied with the machine to open
the access flap.
^
Place a dish under the drain spout.
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.
Do not take it right out.
With large volumes of water the dish will
need to be emptied several times. Se-
cure the fluff filter back into position
and empty the dish before repeating
the procedure.
