Turn off the water tap. Un-
screw the water inlet hose.
Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten
up the inlet hose.
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.
