Drain pump
The drain pump is maintainance-free. The cover of the drain pump is
required to be opened only in the event of a malfunction when no
more water is being pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for-
eign objects present in the pockets or inbetween the items to be
washed. Paper clips, nails etc. which may find their way into the wash-
ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump
housing (foreign objects are protected by the pump wheel).
To restart the drain pump when it is blocked, please proceed as follows:
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine and remove the mains plug
before cleaning the drain pump!
0 1. First carry out an emergency emptying procedure (see section “Carrying
out emergency emptying”).
2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump.
Residual water may run out.
3. Unscrew the drain pump cover in an
anti-clockwise motion and pull it out.
4. Remove any foreign objects and fabric
lint from the pump housing and from
the pump wheel.
5. Check that you are able to turn the
pump wheel at the very rear of the
pump housing. (If the wheel rotates
with a jerky motion, this is normal.) If
you cannot turn the pump wheel, please
contact customer service.
