If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, the wash programme
and functions will be suspended.
When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions will re-start from
the same point and complete the programme.
The load can be removed from the machine during a power failure as follows:
The water can be drained from the machine by:
1. Switch off the machine both via the on/off button and on the mains power
supply. Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
2. Carefully move the machine so the rear of the machine is accessible. Please
follow the safety precautions which we recommend under the 'safety notes'
section of this manual.
3. Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the hose
into a bowl on the floor.
Important: the water may be very hot!
When the bowl is full raise the end of the drain pipe to a height higher than the
top of the appliance to stop the flow of water. Empty and replace the bowl and
continue draining the machine until empty.
4. Once the machine is fully drained of water, clip the hose to the rear of the
machine. Open the door and remove the load.
The door can be opened approximately 2 minutes after the power failure. Do not
force open the door.
Important: the water and the load may be very hot!
