• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rug
nearby because some water may flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with
the piece of cloth.

45°
• Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure
the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• 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.
• When you intend to start the machine up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
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 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.
When 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 cover again and close the door.
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.
What to do if ...
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance
or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling
out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service
Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the red pilot
light of button 7 blinks, one of the following alarm codes
appears on the display and some acoustic signals sound
every 20 seconds to indicate that the machine is not
working:
