Cleaning the 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 detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more details).

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 it is 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 containing the instruction booklet depending on the model).

6.Pull out the emergency emptying cap from the filter cover, using pliers.

7.When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise, using pliers, and remove the filter. Always keep a towel nearby to dry up any water spillage when removing the cover.

Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
