Carrying out an emergen-
cy drain
1 Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency
drain, switch off the washing machine and re-
move the power plug from the power point.
Warning! The water that comes out of the
emergency drain hose may be hot. There is a
risk of scalding. Let the water cool before per-
forming an emergency drain!
1. Open the plinth flap and remove it.
2. Remove the emergency drain hose.
3. Place a shallow container underneath it. Then
loosen the drain plug by turning it in an anti-clock-
wise direction and pull it out.
4. The water will run out. If it is necessary to empty
the container more than once, seal up the emer-
gency drain hose with the drain plug while you are
doing so.
When the water has all drained away:
5. Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain
hose and turn it in a clockwise direction until it is
firmly in place.
6. Replace the emergency drain hose into the retain-
er.
7. Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.
