Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are
clogged), 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;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for
example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen
the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come
out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop
below 0°C, proceed as follows:
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed
on the floor.
• Select the “DRAIN” programme “D” and run it until the machine stops.
• Turn the programme selector dial to X (RESET).
• Switch the machine off.
• Remove the plug from the power socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its
place.
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 temper-
ature is above 0°C.

How to wash
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.
Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in
the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.
Open the filter
door.
Place a contain-
er under the fil-
ter and unscrew
it; some water
will come out of
the filter.
Pull out the fil-
ter.
Clean the filter
under a running
tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully
in.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the
filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
