11.6 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 de-
tected (see chapter “Troubleshoot-
ing” 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 remove its cap cover.
5. When no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump cover (A) by turn-
ing 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.
6. Remove foreign bodies and fluff
from the filter seat and from the
pump impeller.
