Miele W 969 Operating Instructions Manual page 37

Check the fluff (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
.
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain-
ing out of the machine will still be
hot.
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from
behind the detergent drawer facia
panel, (see illustration above).
^ Open the door.
^ Open the flap.
^ Place a suitable container under the
drain fixture.
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.
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.
