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. Place a container close to the pump (A)
to collect any spillage.
4. Release the emergency emptying hose
(B), place it in the container and
remove its cap.
5. When no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump cover and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
pump.
6. Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.
7. Replace the cap on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter
back in its seat.
8. Screw the pump cover fully in.
Warning!
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump. Never
remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
