Open the access panel for the drain pump.
Place a suitable container under the access panel, e.g., a universal tray.
Slowly unscrew the drain filters to let the water out.
Tighten the drain filters back up again if you need to interrupt the flow of water.
When water stops flowing out, screw the drain filters tight.
