BOSCH WFF2000GB - FILTER? Smelly washing machine!!?

I've moved into a new flat and this is the machine it has. Does this machine not have a filter that you can empty? I cant seem to see anything on it that remotely resembles a trap filter. This reason for htis is that my washing smells when i take it out. I've ran it on a hot cycle with bleach and everything to try and get rid of the smell but to no avail. I thought it might be the trap but i cant find it?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

The drain pump and trap are behind the bottom front panel. Twist the two catches with a coin and lift it off from the bottom. There's a black rubber tube behind the frame with a bung in the end. Place a shallow tray on the floor and pull out the bung. It has a retaining strap so it can't come out completely. Once drained, the filter (white about 2" across) unscrews for wiping and/or swilling. Then put it all back together.
P.S An old towel on the floor is also a good idea before you start!!

Cheers.
