DRAIN PUMP
Regularly examine the drain pump and
make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump regularly and/or if:
• The appliance does not drain the water.
• The drum cannot turn.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise
because of the blockage of the drain
pump.
• A problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter "What to do if..." for more
details).
Warning!
1. Disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
2. Do not remove the filter while the
appliance operates. Do not clean
the drain pump if the water in the
appliance is hot. The water must
be cold before you clean the drain
pump.
To clean the drain pump:
1. Open the pump door.
2. Put a container below the recess of the
drain pump to collect the water that
flows out.
3. Press the two levers and pull forward
the drainage duct to let the water flow
out.
4. When the container is full of water, put
the drainage duct back again and emp-
ty the container. Do steps 3 and 4
again and again until no more water
flows out from the drain pump.
5. Pull back the drainage duct.
6. Unscrew the filter and remove it.
