Cleaning The Drain Pump And Non-Return Valve - Miele PG 8083 SCVi Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If water remains in the wash cabinet
after the end of a programme, the water
has not been pumped away. The drain
pump or the non-return valve may be
blocked by foreign objects. These are
easy to remove.
 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains. (Switch the dishwasher off,
unplug it, or disconnect or disable the
fuse).
 Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see "Cleaning and
care", "Cleaning the filters").
 Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
 Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards .
 Lift out the non-return valve  and
rinse well under running water.
 Remove all foreign objects from the
non-return valve.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
 Carefully remove all foreign objects
from the drain pump (watch out for
glass splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect). Turn the drain
pump impeller by hand to check that
there are no more obstructions. You
will feel a little resistance when you
turn the impeller.
 Carefully replace the non-return
valve.

Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.
Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return
valve.
