Operation Manual

Opening the drum door in the
event of a blocked drain outlet
and/or power failure
^
Switch the machine off.
There is a lever behind the detergent
drawer fascia panel.
^ Remove the lever.
^
Use it to open the access flap.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, up to 25
litres of water will be retained in the
machine.
,
Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature,
water draining out of the machine
will still be hot. Danger of scalding!
Procedure for draining the machine
^
Place a suitable container under the
access flap.
When draining water from the
machine, do not unscrew the drain
filter completely or take it right out.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter
to let the water out. Be careful not to
release too much water at once. If the
flow of water is too strong, some water
can seep into the machine base and
activate the water protection float
switch. This will prevent the machine
from functioning.
^
Tighten the drain filter back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
