Drain pump
The pump can be accessed from inside the dishwasher.
1. Cut the power to the dishwasher by unplugging the
unit from the power outlet.
2. Remove the coarse filter and pipe section.
3. Remove the small yellow drain pump access cover
at the left of the bottom drain (see illustration below).
4. By inserting your finger into the hole, you can turn
the pump blades to release anything blocking the
pump.
5. Reinstall the access cover and filters.
6. Plug the machine in again.
If the dishwasher still does not start and a whirring
sound is heard, the overflow protection has been
triggered.
•
Shut off the water.
•
Unplug the unit from the power outlet.

Call the Customer Care Center.
NOTE!
Do not forget to reinstall the drain pump access cover.
Lower spray arm
Holes and bearings can sometimes become blocked.
1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up to release it.

some other similar pointed device. The spray arms
also have holes underneath.

The upper basket must be removed before the upper
spray arm can be released.
1. Pull out the upper basket and turn the basket catch
on each runner outward (see illustration). The basket
can now be removed.
