Drain pump
The pump should be inspected 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 container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump guard and remove it. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing
the pump guard.
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in its seat.
• Screw the pump guard fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove
its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on
the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out;
• clean the pump guard if necessary as previously
described;
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat
after having plugged it;
• screw the drain filter fully in and close the door.
