Cleaning and maintenance

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if

the machine does not empty and/or spin

the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

Disconnect the appliance.

If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

Open the pump door.

Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.

Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
