Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
5. Release the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its
cap.
6. When no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.
