This is envisaged by the washing programme (if the no-spin and stop with

To drain the water, proceed as described in the “End of programme” section, paragraph 5.13.

Make sure the end of the drain hose is not too low.

Check that:

-the machine has been properly levelled as described in paragraph 3.2
