Procedure for draining the machine
When removing the drain filter, do
not remove it completely.
Place a suitable container under the
access panel, e.g. a universal oven
tray.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter
to let the water out. Be careful not to
release too much water at once. If the
flow of water is too strong, some
water can seep into the washing
machine base and activate the water
protection float switch. This will
prevent the washing machine from
functioning.
Tighten the drain filter back up again
if you need to interrupt the flow of
water.
Once the flow of water ceases:
Remove the drain filter completely.
