If the machine does not drain completely, the lint trap should be checked to ensure that it is free of foreign objects. ^ Turn off the appliance with the "On/Off" button.

Do not remove these filters except for cleaning. Tips for a hot water connection ­ The hot water temperature from the hot water valve must not exceed 140°F; the ideal temperature is 130°F. [. . . ]
