If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.

The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
● Turn off the water taps.
● Unscrew the inlet hoses.
● Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme “R”.
● Disconnect the appliance.
● Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.
● 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:
● pull out the plug from the power socket;
● close the water taps;
● if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
● Unscrew and remove the filter;
● place a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, empty
the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;
● clean the filter if necessary as previously described;
● screw the filter again.
