programme selected there can be hot water in the
pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks

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 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 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 and avoid the detergent remains being
wasted.
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.
