DRAIN 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 unscrewing the pump
cover, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the
socket.

Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If it is necessary, wait until the water

has cooled down.

3. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

4. Release the emergency emptying hose

(B), place it in the container and re-
move its cap cover

5. When no more water comes out, un-

screw the pump cover (A) by turning it
anti-clockwise and remove the filter.
Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a
rag nearby to dry up any water spill-
ages when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.

6. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from

the filter seat and from the pump impel-
ler.
Check carefully whether the pump im-
peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please contact your
Service Centre.

7. Put the cap back on the emergency

emptying hose and place the latter
back in its seat.
