to 25 litres).
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain

hot.
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from
behind the detergent drawer facia
panel, (see illustration above).

drain fixture.

Do not take it right out.
With large volumes of water, when the
container is full, screw the fluff filter
back into position, and empty the dish
before repeating the procedure.
