Opening the drum door in the event of a power failure
If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 6.5 gal/25l).
Caution: If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, the water draining out of the machine will still be hot! Stop and allow it to cool be- fore proceeding.
^Turn off the washing machine.
Take the (yellow) filter flap opener from behind the detergent drawer facia panel (see illustration below).
^Remove the opener.
Important
Left hand hinged machines have two access panels in the plinth. The left hand panel conceals the emergency drainage.
^Open the flap (in the machine plinth).
^Place a dish or bowl under the spout.
^Point the drain hose into the con- tainer.
^Remove the stopper. When no more water comes out, replace the stopper in the end of the hose.
^If there is a large amount of water in the machine this procedure will have to be repeated several times.
