4. 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 with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged),
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;
■place a bowl on the floor;
■put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let
the water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the
outlet hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
6. 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 outlet hose and that of
the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
■Select programme Qand run it until the
machine stops.
■Remove the plug from the socket.
■Screw the water inlet hose back on and put
the outlet hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the
machine is removed, avoiding the formation of
ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected
parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure
that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
