MAX MAX Open the pump door. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. Cleaning the pump 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 due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump; • a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details). Warning! Before opening the pump door, 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. Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap. When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the cover. Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the filter seat and from the pump impeller. Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn't rotate, please contact your Service Centre. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat. 15
