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 follows:
Built-in/totally concealed model – use a small
screwdriver as a lever to remove the plugs
shown here, turn the plinth downwards and ac-
cess the pump.
Free-Standing Model – Insert a small screwdriv-
er 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 upward
to remove it completely.
3. Extract the drain hose "A".
WARNING: if the hose is hot, the water is hot or boiling hot.
Place a shallow container on the floor and remove 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.
