Cleaning the drain pump

Paper clips, nails and so on can sometimes get into the washing ma-
chine with the washing and remain in the drain pump casing. Fluff and
strands of fabric can gather on these items and block the drain pump.
Therefore the drain pump should be cleaned at least once a year.

Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull out the mains plug
