Emptying the condensed
water container
If the hose drain has not been fitted
and connected, the condensed water
will be collected in the condensed
water container. 
The condensed water container
should be emptied after every
drying cycle, or as soon as the
“Empty out container” indicator light
comes on.  
If . . . 
. . . the condensed water container is
full when a programme is started or 
. . . it becomes full during a drying cycle:
– the “Empty out container” light will
come on, 
– the buzzer will sound,
– the programme will be stopped,
– the washing will be cooled down and
the “Cool air” light will come on. 
Pull the container out of the machine,
gripping it firmly with both hands.
Slide back the cap and pour the
water away.
Push the container back into the ma-
chine until it engages into place.
Condensed water should not be
drunk.  It could lead to health prob-
lems for humans and animals. 
Condensed water can be put to house-
hold use, eg used in a steam iron or hu-
midifier.
Note:
To ensure that no particles of fluff are
left which could damage the ap-
pliance, pass the condensed water
through a fine sieve or paper filter.
