How do I drop the "base tray" from integrated AEG 80860i ?

Hi;
I have a problem with the above noted model showing error code C3 & the 'anti flood' motor remaining on..

A comprehensive answer was supplied that took account of the fact that the dishwasher is an integrated unit as follows..
"you can also remove the metal plate across the front underneath the door and drop the plastic base and mop it out with a cloth which is easier based on the fact yours is integrated"
My problem now - is that, Having removed the kick type metal plate under the door, I cannot see how to 'drop' the plastic base in order to drain it..

the 2 rods down the sides are for the rear leg adjustment?.I'm at a lose as to the threaded bolt stem????.if you put your fingers in to the plastic base is there water in it?.if there is there is a good chance the whole thing will have to come out completely anyway to find whats faulty or leaking.split hoses,faulty seals or a faulty circulation pump are common ones

Thanks but I'm obviously being thick.. The plastic undertray at the bottom of the machine appears to be just an external base cover with a small recess near the middle that has a threaded bolt stem protruding down.
There are also 2 screws at the bottom outside edge of either side of the base cover that run the depth of the machine from front to back.. I have loosened both & the screw heads have now dropped from their retaining lugs but still no movement, what more do I need to do!!

just push down on plastic tray and it usually pops out and drops down.
