Carrying out emergency drainage
•If the washing machine no longer pumps off the washing solution, emergency drainage must be performed.
•If the washing machine is in a room where there is a risk of frost, emergency drainage must be performed if there is a possibility of frost.
In addition: unscrew the inlet hose form the water tap and place it on the floor. Empty the drainage hose.
1Warning! Switch off the washing machine before performing emer- gency drainage and pull out the mains plug.
Caution! The washing solution escaping from the emergency drainage hose may be hot. There is a risk of scalding! Allow the washing solution to cool down before performing emergency drainage.
1.Place a flat collecting vessel in order to collect the washing solution which is draining off.
2. Fold open the flap in the right sec- tion of the base outwards and pull it off.
3. Remove the emergency drainage hose from its holder.
4. Place the container under the hose.
5. Detach the plug of the emergency drainage hose by turning it anti- clockwise and pull it out.
The washing solution runs out. De- pending on the amount of solution, it may be necessary to empty the collecting vessel several times. To do this, close the emergency drainage hose temporarily with the plug.
