Opening the drum door in the
event of a power failure
If the drain outlet is clogged, more wa-
ter will be retained in the machine (up
to 25 litres).
Caution: If laundry has been washed
at a high temperature, water drain-
ing out of the machine will still be
hot.
^ Switch 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.
Problem solving guide
^ 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.
