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 in-
let hose. Clean the fil-
ter 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 inlet hose in a bowl placed
on the floor, open the emergency emptying
cap of the filter and let water drain out.
• Refit the emergency emptying cap into the fil-
ter and screw the water inlet hose back.
• 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. Remove the emer-
gency emptying cap from the filter. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl. When
the bowl is full, refit the emergency emptying
cap into the filter. Empty the bowl. Repeat the
procedure until water stops flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously de-
scribed;
• 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.
Installation
Unpacking

transported again.
After removing all the
packaging, carefully
lay machine on it's
back to remove the
polystyrene base from
the bottom.
Remove the power
supply cable and the
hoses from the hose
holders on the rear of
