Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below
0°C, proceed as follows:
1.
Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
2.
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
3.
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again
.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0°C.
Important!
Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying
hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO
VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next
washing.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
1.
pull out the plug from the power socket;
2.
close the water tap;
3.
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
4.
open the pump door;
5.
place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl.
Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
6.
clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
7.
replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;
8.
screw the pump again and close the door.
