Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to tempera-
tures below 0°C, certain precautions
should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Unhook the drain hose from the rear
support and position the end of this
hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl. Run the draining programme
«Drain».
• Disconnect the appliance.
• Screw the inlet hose and reposition
the drain hose.
• When you intend to start the
machine up again, make sure that
the room 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:
• pull out the plug from the power
socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;
• Unscrew and remove the filter;
• place a bowl on the floor. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, empty the
bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;
• clean the filter if necessary as
previously described;
• screw the filter again.
