We had it happen when we had our Pennine (yet another reason for crossing to the Dark Side) The solution we found was simple - just hold the plug and let the water out at intervals - i.e. a bit at a time - the sink aint that big you will only be holding the plug for a few moments. 

It's very  upsetting when it happens in your new unit though, just when you planned to keep everything pristine for as long as possible....

Hi I posted this some tims ago. I did find a solution which was to take out the strainer part in the drain in the unit (not the sink) and cut out half of the cross fins. I think there were six there are now three. This has solved the problem because what ever goes down the sink drain will pass through the second one, it would take something the size of a cherry to block it now. Since doing this there has been no back up even from rice with onions which used to be the problem. Hope this helps. Just come back from a damp week in Pembrokeshire. Tipical we have a hot dry summer with hosepipe bans, but as soon as you go away, down comes the rain. Thinking of South of France next year.
