3. screw the water inlet hoses back on and
reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having refit the cap on.
By doing this, any water remaining in the ma-
chine 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.
