Once the flow of water stops:  Remove the drain filter completely.  Clean it thoroughly. Frequently asked questions  Make sure the drain filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use. To avoid loss of detergent, pour approx. 2 quarts (2 liters) of water into the detergent dispenser drawer after cleaning the drain filter. Excess water will be pumped out automatically before the next wash program. Opening the drum door  Make sure the machine is turned off and the drum has stopped moving. A moving drum is dangerous.  Remove any foreign objects (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and lint from the filter housing. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it rotates freely.  Put the drain filter back in place and secure it.  To open the door, pull down on the ring in the upper right corner of the access area. 41
