Cleaning the drawer recess
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
the machine does not empty and/or spin
●
the machine makes an unusual noise during
●
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.
a problem with water draining is detected
●
(see chapter "What to do if..." for more
details).
WARNING!
Before unscrewing the pump cover, switch the
appliance off and remove the mains plug from
the socket.
Proceed as follows:
Unplug the appliance.
●
If it is necessary, wait until the water has
●
cooled down.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the
●
pump cover (A) by turning it anti-clockwise
and remove the filter. Use pliers, if
necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up any water spillages when removing the
cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any
●
traces of fluff.
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that all
washing powder residue
is removed from the
upper and lower part of
the recess.
Place a container close
●
to the pump (A) to collect
any spillage.
Release the
●
emergency emptying
hose (B), place it in the
container and remove its
cap cover.
Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the
●
filter seat and from the pump impeller. Check
carefully whether the pump impeller rotates
(it rotates jerkily). If it doesn't rotate, please
contact your Service Centre.
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
●
hose and place the latter back in its seat.
Replace the filter into the pump by inserting it
●
correctly into the special guides. Screw the
pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise.
IMPORTANT!
When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting
the pump cover, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer
to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet
hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
●
Unscrew the water inlet hose.
