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. To do this, depress the small yellow button
on the hose.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are
clogged), 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;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for exam-
ple the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain fil-
ter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
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 drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
floor.
• Select the “DRAIN” programme and run it until the machine stops.
• Turn the programme selector dial to RESET.
• Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off.
• Remove the plug from the power socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the
formation of ice and, consequently, damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature
is above 0°C.
