Drain pump
The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being
pumped out, e. g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Please make sure before loading the washing that there are no foreign
bodies in the pockets or caught between the washing. Paperclips, nails,
etc. that may have got into the washing machine with the washing re-
main in the pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump
wheel).
1 Warning! Before opening the pump cover, switch off the washing ma-
chine and remove the mains plug from the socket.
1. First carry out an emergency drain.
2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the drain pump cover.
Residual water runs out.
3. Unscrew the pump cover in an anti-clockwise direction and remove it.
4. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the pump housing and from the
pump wheel.
5. Check whether the pump wheel right at the back of the pump housing
can turn. (It is normal for the pumping wheel to turn jerkily.) If the
pumping wheel cannot be turned, please contact the Customer Care
Department.
6. Insert the pump cover. Insert the guides at the
sides of the cover into the guide slots and
tighten the cover by turning in a clockwise
direction.
7. Close off the emergency drain hose and place
it in the support.
8. Close plinth flap.
