5.4 CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP
The drain pump only needs cleaning if it has been blocked by buttons, brooches or similar
objects and the water is not being pumped out.
In this case, proceed as described below.
1. Remove the mains plug to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
2. Depending on the model, proceed as fol-
lows:
Built-in/totally concealed model – use a
small screwdriver as a lever to remove the
plugs shown here, turn the plinth down-
wards and access the pump.
Free-Standing Model – Insert a small
screwdriver through the slits in the front of
the plinth, then apply upward leverage with
the screwdriver to release the top of the
plinth from the cabinet.
Tilt the plinth forward slightly and pull it up-
ward to remove it completely.
3.
Extract the drain hose "A".
WARNING: if the hose is hot, the water is hot or boil-
ing hot. Place a shallow container on the floor and re-
move the plug "B" to drain off the water.
Depending on the amount of water in the appliance,
the container may have to be emptied several times.
When no more water is coming out, close the hose
again by pushing the plug "B" firmly back into place.
4.
Unscrew the cover of the pump "D" by turning it to the left.
Clean the pump and remove any foreign bodies.
Also check the inside "E", making sure that the impeller turns
freely; any foreign bodies stuck in it must be removed.
5.
Screw the cover back on the pump.
Secure the drain house by snapping the plug back into place "C".
Depending on the model, replace the plinth as follows:
Built-in/completely concealed model - Fit the bottom of the plinth first. Push it towards the
cabinet and put the plugs back into place.
Free-standing model – Fit the bottom of the plinth first and then push it towards the cabinet
until it snaps into place.
