Opening the door in the event
of a blocked drain outlet and/
or power cut
Risk of electric shock!
Only ever perform cleaning and
maintenance work when the
appliance is disconnected from the
power.
Disconnect the washing machine
from the mains electricity supply.
Open the access panel to the drain
system.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, a larger
quantity of water (max. 30 l) can remain
in the washing machine.
Risk of scalding due to hot suds.
Escaping suds will be hot if laundry
has been washed at high
temperatures shortly before.
Drain the suds carefully.

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.
