Drain pump
The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the 
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being 
pumped out, e. g. if the pump wheel is blocked. 
Please make sure before loading the washing that there are no foreign 
bodies in the pockets or caught between the washing. Paperclips, nails, 
etc. that may have got into the washing machine with the washing re-
main in the pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump 
wheel). 
1Warning! Before opening the pump cover, switch off the washing ma-
chine and remove the mains plug from the socket.
1.First carry out an emergency drain.
2.Place a cloth on the floor in front of the drain pump cover. 
Residual water runs out.

clockwise direction and remove it.
4.Remove foreign bodies and fluff 
from the pump housing and from 
the pump wheel.
5.Check whether the pump wheel 
right at the back of the pump hous-
ing can turn. (It is normal for the 
pumping wheel to turn jerkily.) If 
the pumping wheel cannot be 
turned, please contact the Customer 
Care Department.

is inserted.
*) The fixing plates can be obtained from the Customer Care Depart-
ment.
Making the appliance level
The four feet of the appliance are 
pre-adjusted. 
Large degrees of unevenness can be 
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw 
feet. 
Use the special spanner supplied to 
do this. 
Important! Do not use pieces of 
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but 
adjust the height adjustable screw 
feet instead.
