Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures
below 0°C, certain precautions should be
taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• 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.
• When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
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 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 into the bowl. When 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 cover again and close the
door.
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 avoid
wasting detergent on the next wash
programme.
