Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If 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. Watch out for glass splinters,
which could cause injury.
Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet.
Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out
of the wash cabinet.
Raise the locking clamp.
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse
under running water.
The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).
Before replacing the non-return valve
check to make sure that nothing is
obstructing the drain pump.
Carefully replace the non-return
valve and secure with the locking
clamp.
Replace and secure the filter combi-
nation.
