any water still in it. Then remove the drain pump filter by
turning it counterclockwise.

6. Reinsert the drain pump filter by turning it clockwise.
Make sure to turn it in as far as it will go, with the filter

the drain pump filter, pour about 1 liter of water into the
detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the base panel.
