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.
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 deter-
gent remains unused at next washing.
