Siemens dishwashers typically have a built-in drain function that automatically empties the dishwasher after the wash cycle. However, if there is a need to force drain the dishwasher due to any issue or emergency, you can try the following steps:
Cancel the current wash cycle: If the dishwasher is running, press the "Cancel" or "Reset" button to stop the current wash cycle.
Wait for a few minutes: Give the dishwasher a few minutes to complete any remaining actions and attempt to drain the water on its own.
Check for blockages: Sometimes, the dishwasher may not drain due to a clogged filter or a blocked drain hose. Turn off the dishwasher and carefully remove any debris or food particles from the filter and drain area.
Manually empty water: If the dishwasher hasn't drained automatically, you can try to manually empty the water by using a small container like a cup or bowl. Be cautious as the water may be hot and can cause burns.
Check the drain hose: Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked, twisted, or blocked. If necessary, straighten or clear the hose.
Restart the dishwasher: Once you've checked for blockages and made sure the drain hose is clear, close the dishwasher door securely and restart the dishwasher. It should attempt to drain the water again.
If you've followed these steps and the dishwasher still doesn't drain properly, there may be an underlying issue that requires professional assistance. In such cases, it's best to contact Siemens customer support or a qualified appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem. Always refer to the dishwasher's user manual or consult Siemens' official website for specific instructions related to your dishwasher model, as different models might have slight variations in their drain functions.
