Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly
and particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or
spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more
details).
Warning! Before opening the pump
door, switch the appliance off remove
the mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Pull flap forward to remove.
5. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
6. Pull out the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its
cap.
7. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump cover by turning it an-
ti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use
pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up any water spillages
when removing the cover. Clean the fil-
ter under a tap, to remove any traces of
fluff.
8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from
the filter seat and from the pump impel-
ler.
