Cleaning and maintenance
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
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;
•open the the pump door;
•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. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
•clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
•replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plug- ged it;
•screw the pump again and close the door.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:
•Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
•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.
•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 temper- ature is above 0°C.
