Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed 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 after 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.
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.
