• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.

Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump
circuit. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the pump cover,
after a cleaning inspection, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.

Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
●
Turn off the water taps.
●
Unscrew the inlet hoses.
●
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that of the inlet hoses in a bowl placed on the floor
and let water drain out.
●
Screw the water inlet hoses 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.
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 activate the
ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains
unused at next washing.
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 by gravity 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.
