Drain Pump - AEG LAVAMAT 11842 VIT User Manual

Drain pump

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 draining is detected (see chapter "What to do if..." for more de-
tails).
WARNING!
Before unscrewing the pump cover, switch the appliance off and remove the mains plug
from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
4. Release the emergency emptying hose
(B), place it in the container and remove
its cap cover.
5. When no more water comes out, un-
screw 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.
