When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as
to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to
temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken:
• pull out the plug from the power
socket;
• turn off the water tap.
• unscrew the inlet hose.
P1090
• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage
from the emergency emptying hose.
Place the end 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 cap on again into the filter
cover.
• 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 using the
suitable tool;
• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage.
Remove the emergency emptying
cap from the filter cover. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap
back on filter cover. Empty the bowl.
Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as
previously described;
• replace the filter into the pump and
screw it firmly as previously
described;
• replace the emergency emptying cap
into the filter cover and close the
pump door.
