How to clean the drain filter

Check if the faucet is turned on.
Make sure that the cold and hot water hoses are connected properly and that the water hoses are not kinked.
If the faucet is open and the water hose is installed correctly, take out the drain filter and clean it thoroughly.

Note!
A large amount of water can spill onto the floor when cleaning the drain filter.
Before opening the pump cap, check beforehand to see if there is hot water inside the washer tub.
Hot water from the washer can cause burn injuries.
Warning!

Be cautious if the floor is a hardwood floor.

It is not necessary to pull out the residual water hose.

3. Reassemble the filter after cleaning it. (Make sure to close the large stopper completely to avoid leaks.)
