Maintenance; Lint Filter - Hitachi BD-W3300 Instruction Manual

Maintenance

Lint filter
Regular maintenance (once per month) is recommended.
Lint filter blockage will cause poor detergent liquid filtration and drainage.
During operation or when there is water remaining in the tumbling drum or drain hose (only after the washing operation), do not remove the lint filter.
When there is water in the tumbling drum, if the drain hose is raised at the threshold (10 cm higher than the floor) or the drain outlet is blocked, a lot of water will flow
out when the lint filter is removed.
Drain water and make sure water is all drained off before removing the lint filter.
If [C17] is shown, the spinning operation can't be performed. In this case, press [OFF] button and then power ON again.
When turning on the power, if the [LINT FILTER] indicator and [C17] are light up, please clean the lint filter.
Turn on the power at maintenance of the lint filter. If direct maintenance at power off, the indication of [lint filter] or [C17] does not turn off.
Even when the [LINT FILTER] indicator lights up, the operation can be continued but the operation will become water injection rinsing. If the operation continues,
error [C17] will be shown when the power is turned [ON]. In this case, please clean the lint filter first and confirm that the [LINT FILTER] indicator goes off before
operation.
Drain water and make sure water is all drained off before removing the lint filter.
