bosch classixx 7 washing machine, I need to clean the filter but it is stuck so I can't unscrew it. Very helpful reply on the site advising I remove the front panel but this is held on with a peculiar screw which does not have a flat, philips or allen key head on it - any suggestions?

don't worry about removing the front, tip the machine backwards 45 degrees and you can access the drainage pipe from underneath (make sure it is well reclines so it doesn't tip forward and squash you when you are removing the clamp!)
