EN 27
The drain pump must be inspected if:
• the water is not draining,
• the washing machine is not spinning, or,
• unusual noises can be heard when pumping out water due to
objects such as safety pins and coins, which are blocking the
pump.
Cleaning the drain pump filter
1. Switch off the power and then open the service panel (where
applicable, with a coin or a screwdriver).
2. Where applicable: wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Put a container close to it to collect the water. Always keep a cloth
handy to clean up any spilled water.
4. Unscrew the pump/filter cover. Remove any objects from the filter/
from the pump screw (turn the pump screw using a pencil, for
example).
5. Refit the pump/filter cover after the objects have been removed and
close the service panel.
Warning!
• When the washing machine is in use and depending on the
selected program, there may be hot water standing in the pump.
Never remove pump/filter cover during a wash program. Always
wait until the machine is ready and has been completely pumped
out.
• When refitting the pump-filter cover make sure that it is securely
attached so that no leak can occur and children cannot remove it.
