CLEANING THE WATER INLET
FILTERS
If you notice that the machine is taking lon-
ger to fill, check that the filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.
Keep a rug nearby because some wa-
ter may flow.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.
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. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the inlet hose.
3. 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.
4. Screw the water inlet hose back on and
reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again.
5. When you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
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 sock-
et;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;
4. place a bowl on the floor and place the
end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The wa-
ter should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap
back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Re-
peat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;
5. clean the pump if necessary as previ-
ously described;
6. replace the emergency emptying hose
in its seat after having plugged it;
7. screw the pump again.
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.
