• Screw the hose back to the machine and

make sure the connection is tight.

• Turn on the water tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:
1. pull out the plug from the power socket;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has

cooled down;

4. open the pump door;
5. place a bowl on the floor. Remove the

emergency emptying cap from the filter.
The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, refit the cap
into the filter. Empty the bowl. Repeat the
procedure until water stops flowing out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previously

described;

7. screw the pump again and close the

door.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed
as follows:
1. Pull out the plug from the power socket.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Unscrew the inlet hose.
4. Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl

placed on the floor, open the emergency
emptying cup of the filter and let water
drain out.

5. Refit the emergency emptying cap into

the filter and screw the water inlet hose
back.

6. When you intend to start the machine up

again, make sure that the room temper-
ature 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

 device avoiding that

part of the detergent remains unused at next
washing.

What to do if...

Certain problems are due to lack of simple
maintenance or oversights, which can be
solved easily without calling out an engineer.
Before contacting your local Service Centre,
please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that
