If the drain outlet is blocked, a larger
quantity of water (max. 30 l) can remain

Problem solving guide
Emptying the drum
....in machines with a drain pump
 Place a suitable container under the
access flap.
Remove the drain filter, though not
completely.
 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 washing
machine base and activate the water
protection float switch. This will
prevent the washing machine from
functioning.
 Tighten the drain filter back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
