Opening the door in the event
of a blocked drain outlet and/
or power cut

Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, there may
be a large quantity of water left behind

Escaping suds will be hot if laundry
has been washed at high temperat-
ures!
Carefully allow all suds to drain off.

completely.
Place a suitable container under the
access panel, e.g. a universal oven
tray.

the water out.
Tighten the drain filters back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
