Turn off the tap.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the drain pump filter
Your appliance is equipped with a filtration system that prevents solid matter (buttons,
coins and fibres) from obstructing the drain pump blades.
If your appliance does not drain the water, the filter may be clogged. The water must be
drained manually in order to clean the pump filter.
Furthermore, you may have to drain the water completely in the following cases:
•
before transporting the appliance (if moving home, for example),
•
if there is a risk of frost.
