ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

(see chapter “What to do if...” for more de-
tails).

door, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If it is necessary, wait until the water
has cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.
