7. Screw the hose back to the machine

and make sure the connection is tight.

8. 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 and place the

end of the emergency emptying hose in-
to 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;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previ-

ously described;

7. replace the emergency emptying hose

in its seat after having plugged it;

8. 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. close the water tap and unscrew the

water inlet hose from the tap;

2. place the end of the emergency empty-

ing hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water
drain out;

3. screw the water inlet hose back on and

reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the
machine is removed, avoiding ice forming
and consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make
sure that the ambient 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

 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 engi-
neer. Before contacting your local Service
Centre, please carry out the checks listed
below.
During machine operation it is possible that
the 

yellow

 pilot light of button 

8

 blinks, one

of the following alarm codes appears on the
display and at the same time some acous-
tic signals sound every 20 seconds to indi-
cate that the machine is not working:

 : problem with the water supply

 : problem with the water draining

 : door open

 : anti-flooding system has activated

Once the problem has been eliminated,
press the button 

8

 to restart the pro-

gramme. If after all checks, the problem
persists, contact your local Service Centre.
