Carrying out an emergency emptying
•If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water, emergency emptying must be carried out.
•If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures might occur, emergency emptying must be carried out. Furthermore: unscrew the inlet hose from the water tap and drain off the water. Empty the drainage hose.
1Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull out the mains plug prior to performing emergency emptying.
Warning! The water, which flows out of the emergency emptying hose can be hot. First allow the water to cool down before you carry out the emergency emptying.
1.Have a flat container on hand to catch the water.
2. Pull down the flap in the right corner of the base strip outwards and pull it off.
3. Remove the emergency emptying hose from its holder.
4. Place the container under the hose.
5. Detach the plug of the emergency emptying hose by turning it anti- clockwise and pull it out. The water runs out. Depending on
the amount of water, it may be necessary to empty the collecting
vessel several times. To do this, close the emergency emptying hose temporarily with the plug. Discard the water from the con-
tainer, replace it under the emergency emptying hose and remove the plug from the hose.
