Drip Tray & Drain Basin
Easy to remove and easy to clean, the drip tray grate and liner may be slid out from the machine for cleaning.

- Followed by liner.
- Liner may be cleaned while still on the machine!
While the drip tray is the main catch basin for liquid waste. It is possible to clog or overflow the liner with too much 'foamy and viscous' liquids accumulating underneath the perforated grate. When this occurs, remove the grate and simply pour (slowly) hot water from the right side of drip tray, wipe with a wet towel, and allow to drain.
Liquids not draining properly or leaks are observed underneath the machine? Inspect the catch basin (highlighted in yellow below), drain hose, and contact support!
