if there is water in the washer tub. Make sure to check
if the water is completely drained before opening the
drain filter.
y If you use the washing machine with the drain filter
reassembled incorrectly after cleaning it, or if you use
the machine without the filter, it may cause leaks or
malfunction of the washing machine.
