Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of
lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet
hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose and make sure the con-
nection is tight.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0 °C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water supply.
• Unscrew the inlet hose from the supply tap.
• Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time.
• Interrupt the programme by turning the programme selector to AUS position.
• Place the end of inlet and drain hoses down low, into the waste gully (floor drain) set
into the floor. Make sure that the end of the hose does not go below the water level in
the gully's (drain's) water tap.
• Select the programme "Drain" and let it run until it is finished.
• Turn the programme selector to AUS position. When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0 °C.
The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The man-
ufacturer is not responsible for any frost damage.
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 deter-
gent remains unused at next washing.
WHAT TO DO IF…
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved
easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please
