Drain pump
The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being
pumped out, e. g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Please make sure before loading the washing that there are no foreign
bodies in the pockets or caught between the washing. Paperclips, nails,
etc. that may have got into the washing machine with the washing re-
main in the pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump
wheel).
1 Warning! Before opening the pump cover, switch off the washing ma-
chine and remove the mains plug from the socket.

clockwise direction and remove it.
