Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If the water has not been pumped away
at the end of a program, the drain pump
or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are, however, easy to
clean.
Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.
Take the filter system out of the wash
cabinet (see "Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the filters").
Scoop the water out of the cabinet
using a suitable container or utensil.
Press the catch for the non-return
valve inwards .
Lift the non-return valve up and out
and rinse well under running water.
Remove all foreign objects from the
non-return valve.
The drain pump is beneath the non-re‐
turn valve (see arrow).
Remove all foreign objects from the
drain pump (glass or bone splinters).
Before returning the non-return
valve, check that the drain pump is
not blocked. Spin the propeller sever‐
al times in both directions to check
for obstructions.
Carefully reinsert the non-return valve
and secure it with the locking clamp.
Make sure the locking clamp
clicks into place!
Be careful not to damage any
delicate components when cleaning
the drain pump and the non-return
valve.
