6. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket; 

• close the water tap; 

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the the pump door;

• 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. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the
hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat

after having plugged it;

• screw the pump again and close the door.

7. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:

• Remove the plug from the socket.

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet

hose from the tap.

• 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.

• 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 the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

blocked.
