Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the draw-
er, use a small brush to
clean the recess, ensuring
that all washing powder
residue is removed from
the upper and lower part of
the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme with-
out any clothes in the drum.
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 and remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

Open the pump door lev-
ering on the groove with a
coin (or with the suitable
tool, that you can find in
the bag containing the in-
struction booklet, depend-
ing on the model).
Place a bowl with a small
edge close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
Pull out the emergency
emptying cap from the
pump cover, using pliers.

When no more water
comes out, unscrew the
pump cover, using pliers,
and remove the filter. Al-
ways keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillages
when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
Remove foreign bodies
and fluff from the filter seat
and from the pump impel-
ler.
Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it
rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your
Service Centre.
