Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the draw-
er, use a small brush to
clean the recess, ensuring
that all washing powder
residue is removed from
the upper and lower part of
the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme with-
out any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected 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:
• disconnect the appliance;
• if necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
Open the pump door.
Place a container close to
the pump to collect any
spillage.
Pull out the emergency
emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove
its cap.
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 cover.
Remove any objects from
the pump impeller by ro-
tating it.
Put the cap back on the
emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in
its seat.
Screw the pump cover
fully in.
Close the pump door.
Caution! 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 finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely re-
tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important! If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill
with water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display
(if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What
to do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters
are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose from
the tap.
• Clean the filter in the
hose with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the
connection is tight.
