Performing Manual Drain
In the event the washer will not drain under its own power
due to a power outage or clogged drain pump you can
drain the water left in the drum manually.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
Do not attempt to manually drain the drum if it is full of
hot water. Allow water to cool before proceeding with
manual draining.
With a catch pan ready, pinch the two fl aps on the sides
drain spout and fl ip it down.
NOTE
Removing the pump cleanout door completely may be
necessary to place your catch pan under the drain spout.
When the water has stopped fl owing, press the drain spout
back up and in until the outer fl aps snap into place.
