Precautions to be taken against frost
If your appliance is exposed to tempera- tures below 0°C, the following precau- tions must be taken :
•Close the tap and disconnect the inlet hose.
•Place the end of this hose and the drain hose in a basin on the floor.
•Select the Drain programme let it run until the end of the cycle.
•Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by turning the program selector to “Stop”.
•Unplug the appliance.
•Screw the inlet hose back on and replace the drain hose.
This way, the water remaining in the ho- ses will be drained away, avoiding any ice formation which would damage your appliance.
Before turning your appliance on again, ensure that it is installed in an area whe- re the temperature will not fall below freezing.
