Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the re-
cess, ensuring that all
washing powder residue
is removed from the up-
per and lower part of the
recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particular-
ly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during drain-
ing due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc.
blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chap-
ter “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.
Place a container close
to the pump (A) to collect
any spillage.
Pull out the emergency
emptying hose (B), place
it in the container and re-
move its cap.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the fil-
ter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag near-
by to dry up any water spillage 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
impeller.
Check carefully whether
the pump impeller ro-
tates (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.
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 refitting the pump cover, ensure it
is securely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
