Don't lay it down flat, helps avoid water running out from various potential sources. Prop it up with a suitable object under the back of the cabinet below the console (which should provide clearance for the hoses) and there should be access to remove the bottom panel. Can also be laid over on the front (with similar support). I'd wouldn't do the left side to avoid potential damage to the bleach hose. |

I have worked on dozens of these washers, I usually just pull it forward about 18" and lean it back against the wall.
There are three 5/16" screws near the front of the bottom panel, once removed the bottom panel drops down and off.
From there you can inspect and clean the bottom panel, on most Calypsos the bottom is dirty and maybe a little rusty from splashing water, detergent etc.
