Carrying out an emergency emptying
1Warning! Isolate the washing machine from the mains supply before
the emergency emptying!
If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water an emergency
emptying must be carried out.
Warning! The water, which flows out of the emergency emptying hose
can be hot. First allow the water to cool down before emergency
emptying!
0Put down a flat container to catch the water draining out.
0Pull down the flap in the left corner
of the base strip and remove it.
0Release the emergency emptying hose
from its holder.
0Pull the emergency emptying hose out
a little.
0Place a container underneath to
catch the water.
0Release the plug of the emergency
emptying hose by turning it anti-
clockwise and pull it out.
The water will drain out. Depending
on the amount of water, it may be
necessary to empty the container
catching the water several times.
To do this, temporarily close the
emergency emptying hose again with the plug.
When the water has drained out completely:
0Push and twist the plug firmly back into the emergency emptying hose.
0Push the emergency emptying hose back in a little and let it catch on
to the holder.
0Replace the flap in the base plate and close it.
3When the washing machine is completely empty, the ÖKO lock can no
longer function correctly. Therefore before the next wash pour in approx
1 litre of water (pour it in through the washing powder compartment).
