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. 
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for-
eign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be 
washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the wash-
ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump 
housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel). 
1Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the 
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.
1.First carry out an emergency drain.
2.Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump. 
Residual water runs out.
3.Unscrew the pump cover in an anti-
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. (If the wheel rotates 
with a jerky motion, this is normal.) 
If the pumping wheel cannot be 
turned, please contact your local 
Service Force Centre..
6.Insert the pump cover. Insert the 
guides at the sides of the cover into 
the guide slots and tighten the cov-
er by turning in a clockwise direc-
tion.

							40
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the 
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe 
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and 
standpipe.
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the 
curve in the hose end is no more 
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less 
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor 
level. 
The upright standpipe should 
have a minimum, length of 30 cm 
(12’’) from the bottom of the el-
bow to the top of the pipe (see 
diagram). Make sure that it is de-
signed in such a way that the end 
of the drain hose cannot be cov-
ered with water. 
Longer drain hoses are available 
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres 
from your Service Force Centre.
For drainage into an outlet 
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not 
been used before, remove any blank-
ing plug that may be in place. Push 
the drain hose onto the spigot and 
secure with a clip if required. Ensure 
the drain hose is looped upwards to 
prevent waste water from the sink 
entering the washing machine. 
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the 
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the 
appliance.
