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 regularly and particularly
if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter
“What to do if...” for more details).
Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch the
appliance off and remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is 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 by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the filter.
Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillages when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
Remove foreign bodies
and fluff from the filter seat
and from the pump impel-
ler.
Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it
rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your
Service Centre.
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
Replace the filter into the
pump by inserting it cor-
rectly into the special
guides. Screw the pump
cover firmly by turning it
clockwise.
Close the pump door.
