7. Screw the hose back to the machine and
make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
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 emptying 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.
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 into 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 previously described;
7. replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;
8. screw the pump again and close the door.
