1.2. Precautions against frost
If your washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, take the following precautions :
•Close the tap and disconnect the water supply pipe.
•Put the end of this pipe and the drain pipe into a bowl on the floor.
•Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it works until it is complete.
•Switch the washing machine off by putting the program selector to the «Off»* position or pressing on the «On/Off»* key.
•Unplug the washing machine.
•Screw in the water inlet pipe and install the drain pipe.
Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus preventing the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing machine.
The next time you want to use your washing machine, make sure that it is installed in a room in which the temperature is above 0°C.
