Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a programme, the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
 Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains electricity supply. Switch off at
the mains socket and withdraw the
plug.

Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care
- Cleaning the filters”).

Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
 Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards

.
 Tilt the non-return valve inwards until
it is released
 .

Rinse it thoroughly under running
water and remove any soiling from
the non-return valve.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).

Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (watch out for glass or
bone splinters which are particularly
difficult to detect and could cause
injury). Turn the drain pump impeller
by hand to check that there are no
more obstructions. You will feel a little
resistance when you turn the impeller.
 Carefully refit the non-return valve
and secure it with the catch.

Ensure that the catch engages
correctly.

Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return
valve.
