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 dur-

ing 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 de-
tails).

Warning! Before opening the pump
door, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the socket.

Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has

cooled down.

3. Open the pump door levering on the

groove with a coin (or with the suitable
tool, that you can find in the bag con-
taining the instruction booklet, depend-
ing on the model).

4. Place a bowl with a small edge close to

the pump to collect any spillage.

5. Pull out the emergency emptying cap

from the filter cover, using pliers.

6. When no more water comes out, un-

screw the pump cover by turning it anti-
clockwise, using pliers, and remove the
filter. 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.
