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.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to tempera-
tures below 0°C, certain precautions
should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• 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
«Drain».
• Disconnect the appliance.
• Screw the inlet hose 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 tap;
• 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.
