AEG LAVAMAT 16820 - Manual (Page 36)

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the
additive compartment can be removed.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old tooth-
brush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.
Door seal
Regularly check to see, if there are deposits
or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind
the door and remove them.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if
the machine does not empty and/or spin
the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects
such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
Disconnect the appliance.
If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
Open the pump door.
Place a contain-
er close to the
pump to collect
any spillage.
Release the
emergency emp-
tying hose, place
it in the con-
tainer and
remove its cap.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing
the pump.
