Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (drain
pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe is
clogged), proceed as follows to empty
out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power
socket;
• close the water taps;
• 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. When
the bowl is full, hook the hose back
up and empty the bowl. Repeat the
procedure until water stops flowing
out.

Should it not be possible to have
access to the drain hose or pipe
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.

Warning
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme
selected there can be hot water in the
filter. Never remove the filter during
a wash cycle, (unless it is absolutely
necessary - see “Emergency
emptying out”), always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and
is empty. When replacing the filter,
ensure it is securely retightened so as
to stop leaks and young children
being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet
filters
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filters may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean
them from time to time.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the
water inlet hoses. Clean the filters
using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up
the inlet hoses.
P0041
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to
temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water taps.
• Unscrew the inlet hoses.
• Unhook the drain hose from the rear
support and position the end of this
hose and that of the inlet hoses in a
bowl.
• Run the draining programme.
• Disconnect the appliance.
• Screw the inlet hoses and reposition
the drain hose.
When you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
