of accumulated powder.

Cleaning the 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 details).

To aid cleaning, the top
part of the additive com-
partment should be re-
moved.
Having removed the draw-
er, 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.
Warning! Before opening the pump door, 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 by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the filter.
Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillage when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
Place a container close to
the pump (A) to collect
any spillage.
Pull out the emergency
emptying hose (B), place it
in the container and re-
move its cap.
Remove foreign bodies
and fluff from the filter seat
and from the pump impel-
ler.
Check carefully whether
the pump impeller rotates
(it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn't rotate, please con-
tact your Service Centre.
