Cleaning of the drainage area The drainage area must be cleaned if the pump has been blocked with objects such as buttons, safety pins, coins, etc. , or if lint has built up because clothes that generate lint have been washed at high temperatures. • Pull out the plug from the power socket. • If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down. • Open the drainage area door. • Place a bowl to collect the water. • Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose. • Empty the bowl.
