Cleaning and maintenance
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 empty-
ing hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by grav-
ity 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 plugged
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 emp-
tying hose after having put the cap on again.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoid-
ing 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.
