5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet 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 down;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the
water come 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.
6. 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 that of the inlet
hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select programme “ N ” (drain) and run it until the
machine stops.
• Remove the plug from the 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 the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
