Preventing a frozen water supply hose

*If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it at room temperature for 24 hours after you’ve set it up before using it. This ensures there’s no ice blocking the water supply hose.

If your water supply hose freezes:

1 Wrap warm towels around the joints in the water supply hose.

3 Run a Drain only programme, using the MODE button.

*Make sure you replace the filter tightly. If it’s still loose, you’ll get an error message and may not be able to use the washing machine again until you tighten it securely. (see page 32)
