Cleaning the Foreign Body Trap
The appliance is provided with
a self-cleaning pump. The
foreign body trap keeps
objects like buttons, coins,
safety-pins etc. which have
been left in the laundry.
1.
Unplug the appliance.
2.
Open the foreign body trap
cover with a coin.
3.
Place a bowl beneath it.
4.
Turn the foreign body trap
slowly anti-clockwise until
the grip is vertical; do not
remove it as yet.
5.
Wait until all the water has
drained out.
6.
Now unscrew the foreign
body trap completely and
extract it.
7.
Remove any foreign items
from the foreign body trap.
8.
Make sure the pump
impeller (in the housing
behind the foreign body
trap) is not obstructed.
9. Insert the foreign body
trap again and screw it
fully down in a clockwise
direction to the stop
(until the grip is
horizontal).
10.
Pour 0.5 litres of water into
the machine via the drum
and check that water does
not leak from the foreign
body trap.
11.
Close the foreign body trap
cover.
12.

Check the foreign body trap if
the appliance is not draining
correctly or if it fails to perform
spin cycles.
Check the foreign body trap
regularly, two or three times a
year and clean it if necessary.

Make sure the
water has cooled before
emptying the foreign body
trap.
