Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the
filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
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 plug-
ged it;
• screw the pump again and close the door.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop
below 0°C, proceed as follows:
• 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.

Cleaning and maintenance
• 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.
Something not working?
If during the spin cycle the machine makes an
unusual whistling noise, different from the
noise made by traditional washing machines,
this is due to a new type of motor.
If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technolo-
gy of new washing machines that use less water than traditional
machines.
