Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proŠ ceed as follows:

1.close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap;

2.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;

3.screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose afŠ

ter 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.

Emergency emptying out

3.if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

4.open the pump door;

5.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;

6.clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

7.replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

8.screw the pump again and close the door.

WHAT TO DO IF…

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service CenŠ tre, please carry out the checks listed below.

During machine operation it is possible that the yellow pilot light of button 8 blinks, one of the following alarm codes appears on the display and at the same time some acoustic signals sound every 20 seconds to indicate that the machine is not working:

• : problem with the water supply

• : problem with the water draining

• : door open

• : anti-flooding system has activated

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the button 8 to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
