CLEANING THE FOREIGN BODY TRAP
The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning
pump. The foreign body trap keeps objects like buttons,
coins, safety-pins etc. which have been left in the
laundry.
1.
Unplug the washing machine.
2.
Open the foreign body trap cover with a coin.
3.
Place a bowl beneath it.
4.
Turn the foreign body trap slowly anti-clockwise until
the grip is vertical; do not remove it as yet.
5.
Wait until all the water has drained out.
6.
Now unscrew the foreign body trap completely and
extract it.
7.
Remove any foreign items from the foreign body trap.
8.
Make sure the pump impeller (in the housing behind
the foreign body trap) is not obstructed.
9. Insert the foreign body trap again and screw it fully
down in a clockwise direction to the stop (until the
grip is horizontal).
10.
Pour 0.5 litres of water into the machine via the drum
and check that water does not leak from the foreign
body trap.
11.
Close the foreign body trap cover.
12.
Reconnect the washing machine.
Check the foreign body trap if the washing machine is not
draining correctly or if it fails to perform spin cycles.
Check the foreign body trap regularly, two or three times
a year and clean it if necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the water has cooled before
emptying the foreign body trap.
