Cleaning the drain filter
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 phase due to objects such as safety
pins, coins and so on blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter 'Troubleshooting' for more
details).
CAUTION!
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.

comes out, unscrew
the filter.
• Turn the filter anti-

• Screw the pump cover firmly. Turn it clockwise.
CAUTION!
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the set programme
there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the filter during a washing cycle,
always wait until the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty.
When refitting the filter, ensure it is securely re-
tightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve
filter
If the appliance doesn't fill, take long to fill with
water, the starting button blinks or the display (if
available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter
'Troubleshooting' for more details), check if the
water inlet filters are blocked.
