Drain off the water completely…
• before cleaning the foreign matter trap;
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when shifting house);
• when there is a power failure ("emergency draining");
• when there is a danger of frost.
At room temperatures below 0 °C the remaining water in the
appliance could freeze, damaging it.
1. Switch appliance off, unplug the power cable, close the water
tap.
Allow hot suds to cool off sufficiently. This poses a risk of scalding.
2. Open the service door by pushing on the button. Take out the
drain pipe
and hold it over a bowl. Pull the seal off the drain hose and allow
the water
to drain out one bowl at a time.
There may be more than 20 litres of water left in the machine when
the drum is bull (e.g. after a power failure)!
3. Turn the foreign object trap 1/2 turn to loosen it (anti-clockwise)
and soak up the remaining water with a cloth. Once no more water
is coming out, turn the foreign object trap until it is completely free
and remove it.
4. Clean foreign object trap and the pump opening. Check if the
pump impeller
(in the pump opening) can be turned freely.
5. Replace the cap on the drain hose and put it away.
6. Replace the foreign object trap and turn it tight (in clockwise
direction).
7. Close the service door. Water inlet strainer
Clean if water flows very slowly, or not at all.
1. Switch off the machine, turn off the water tap.
2. Take the inlet hose off.
3. Pull out the strainer in Aquasafe or the two strainers in Aquasafe+
(depending
on the model) with universal or needle nosed pliers, clean with a
small soft brush and fit back.
