  • the cover 25 has gripping elements 29, 30, which may be formed by webs or the like. About the handle members 29, 30, a user to unscrew the lid 11 from the housing part 27 to open the space 11. Furthermore, the user can reliably screw the cover 25 back into the housing part 27, so that the sealing ring 28 is acted on to ensure a sufficient seal.
  • the screwing of the space 11 may be required, for example, for removing foreign bodies from the pump working space 14.
  • the space 11 is filled with caustic at this time.
  • such foreign matter may block the paddle wheel 15.
  • opening the lid 25 then the liquor from the space 11 and possibly also in the line 10 and the tub 8 standing liquor from the housing part 27 would expire. This would be undesirable.
  • the lid 25 has a manually operable closure 31.
  • a user can drain the liquor from the room 11 controlled. This allows a user, for example, fill a bowl with the liquor from the space 11 of the drain pump 12, the line 10 and the tub 8.
  • the discharge of the liquor via the shutter 31 can also be interrupted one or more times, for example, to empty the filled bowl into a drain.
  • the user can drain the liquor from the space 11 at least partially in a controlled manner. An escaping during the opening of the lid 25 remainder of the liquor can then be absorbed by an underlying cloth or the like, since this remainder is relatively small.
  • a controlled emergency drainage of the water-bearing domestic appliance 1 can be carried out by a user.
  • the function of the closure 31 results for the user here of itself, since the closure 31 is arranged directly on the lid 25 to be opened. This will also accidentally open the lid 25th prevented by a user in liquor-filled space 11. In this case, the user can also determine by briefly opening the shutter 31, whether lye is present in the room 11 or not.
