Open the access panel for the drain pump.
Place a suitable container under the access panel, e.g. a universal tray.
Slowly unscrew the drain filters to let the water out.
To interrupt the flow of water, tighten the drain filters back up again.
If water stops flowing out, screw the drain filters tight.
If the drain filters are not screwed tight, water may leak out.
Water leakage can cause damage.
Check that the drain filters have been inserted correctly and screwed tight.
