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;
• place the end of the drain hose in a bowl on the
floor. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl.
If the drain hose is not accessible, proceed as
follows:
• place a bowl on the floor under the filter;
• slightly loosen the filter to let the water come out
slowly;
• at the end screw the filter again.
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 drain hose and that of the
inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select programme “
P
” (draining) and run it until
the machine stops.
• Switch the machine OFF by depressing button
.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
drain 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.
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.
