Cleaning the drain pump
Paper clips, nails and so on can sometimes get into the washing
machine 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.
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull out the mains plug
before cleaning the drain pump.
0 1. First carry out emergency emptying (see section "Carrying out emer-
gency emptying“).
2. Place a towel on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump.
Surplus water may flow out.
3. Unscrew the drain pump cover anti-
clockwise and pull it out.
4. Remove any foreign bodies from the
pump housing.
5. Replace the cover. Insert the webs on
the cover laterally into the guide slots
and screw on the cover securely clock-
wise.
6. Close the emergency emptying hose and
place it in the holder.
