12.6 Cleaning the drain filter

The pump should be inspected regularly
and particularly if:
• The appliance does not empty and/or
spin.
• The appliance makes an unusual
noise during draining due to objects
such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.
• A problem with water drainage is
detected (see chapter
"Troubleshooting" for more details).
WARNING!
Before unscrewing the pump
cover, switch the appliance
off and remove the mains
plug from the socket.
To clean the drain filter:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

WARNING!
When the appliance is
operating and depending
on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the
filter. Never remove the filter
cover during a wash cycle.
Always wait until the
appliance has finished the
cycle and it is empty. When
refitting the filter cover,
ensure it is securely re-
tightened so as to stop leaks
and young children being
able to remove it.
3. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
