Warning
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 installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:
•
Remove the plug from the socket.
•
Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose
from the tap.
•
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that 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 hose after having put the cap on
again.
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.
