Draining the machine
Left hand hinged machines have
two access flaps in the plinth. The
left hand panel conceals the
emergency drainage.
If the drain outlet is clogged, a large
amount of water will be retained in the
machine (up to 25 litres).

Caution: If laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding!
^
Open the flap in the machine plinth.
^ Place a dish or bowl under the spout.
^ Point the drain hose into the
container.
^
Remove the stopper.
^
Once the flow of water ceases,
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.
