Drain Pump - Electrolux Steam System 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 dur-
ing 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 opening the pump
door, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door levering on the
groove with a coin (or with the suitable
tool, that you can find in the bag con-
taining the instruction booklet, depend-
ing on the model).
4. Place a bowl with a small edge close to
the pump to collect any spillage.

any water spillages when removing the
cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.
