Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important! If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill with
water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if
available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to
do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters are
blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose
from the tap.
• Clean the filter in the
hose with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure
the connection is tight.
• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rag
nearby because some water may flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or
with the piece of cloth.

• Screw the hose back to the machine and make
sure the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, cer-
tain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
floor, open the emergency emptying cap of the filter and
let water drain out.
• Refit the emergency emptying cap into the filter and
screw the water inlet hose back.
• 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 tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor. Remove the emergency empty-
ing cap from the filter. The water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl is full, refit the emergency
emptying cap into the filter. Empty the bowl. Repeat the
procedure until water stops flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
• screw the pump cover again and close the door.
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.
Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using
the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can
be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
