Cleaning The Drainage System - Miele WS 5427 MC 13 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning the drainage system

Check the fluff filter, initially after 3 - 4
washes to ascertain how often it is likely
to require cleaning.
Under normal conditions approx. 2
litres of water will drain out of the ma-
chine when the fluff filter is removed.
However, if the drain outlet is blocked,
more water will be retained in the ma-
chine (max. 30 litres).
Caution: if laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain-
ing out of the machine will still be
hot. Danger of scalding or burning.
^ Switch the machine off (either open
the door or switch off at the mains
and withdraw the plug).
^ Open the drain access flap.
Cleaning and care
^ Place a suitable container (2 litres)
underneath the drain fixture.
^ Turn the fluff filter lid round 2-3 times.
Do not take it right out.
Approx. 2 litres of water will drain out.
If there is a blockage more water than
this will drain out and the container will
need to be emptied several times.
To stop the flow of water:
^ Secure the fluff filter back into posi-
tion.
^ Empty the container and repeat the
process until all the water has been
emptied
