Carrying out an Emergency Emptying

• If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water an emergency 

emptying must be carried out.

• If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing 

temperatures might occur, emergency emptying must be carried out 

if danger of freezing occurs.

Furthermore, the inlet hose must be disconnected from the tap, 

drained and laid on the floor.

Warning!

 Switch the washing machine off and pull the mains plug 

prior to emergency draining.

Warning!

 The water, which flows out of the emergency emptying hose 

can be hot. First allow the water to cool down before emergency emp-

tying!

1.

Have a flat container on hand to catch the water running out.

2.

Pull down the flap in the left corner of 

the base strip (1) and remove it (2).

3.

Remove the emergency emptying hose 

from its holder.

4.

Pull the emergency emptying hose 

out a little.

5.

Place the container under the hose.

6.

Undo and remove the plug in the end of 

the emergency emptying hose by turning 

it anti-clockwise (1) and pull it out (2).
The wash-water runs out. Depending 

upon the amount of water, it may be 

necessary to empty the container several 

times. Temporarily close the emergency 

emptying hose with the plug.
