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 inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to tempera- tures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

Turn off the water tap.

Unscrew the inlet hose.

Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a

bowl. Run the draining programme

«Drain».

Disconnect the appliance.

Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room 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.

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;

Unscrew and remove the filter;

place a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

clean the filter if necessary as previously described;

screw the filter again.
