Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If water has not been pumped away at
the end of a program the drain pump or
the non-return valve may be blocked.
^Turn off the machine.
^Remove the filter combination out of
the wash cabinet.
^Tilt the locking clamp to the side.

removing the non-return valve.
The drain pump is beneath the
non-return valve (see arrow).
^Before refitting the non-return valve,
check that the drain pump is not
blocked. Spin the propeller several
times in both directions to check for
obstructions.
^Carefully refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.

washed again.
