Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise dur-
ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
5. Release the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its
cap cover.
6. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump and remove it. Always
keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump im-
peller by rotating it.
8. Refit the cap on the emergency empty-
ing hose and place the latter back in its
seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.
10. Close the pump door.
Warning!
When the appliance is in use and depending
on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump. Never remove the pump
cover during a wash cycle, always wait until
the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it
is securely retightened so as to stop leaks
and young children being able to remove it.
