If you wash rugs, it is compulsory to inspect and
clean the filter.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important!
If the appliance doesn't fill, takes long to fill with water,
the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if
available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter
«What to do if...» for more details), check if the water
inlet filters are blocked.
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose
from the tap.
• Clean the filter in the
hose with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the
connection is tight.
• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rag
nearby because some water may flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with
the piece of cloth.
• Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure
the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution or emergency emptied out
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C
or if the water is not discharged, proceed as follows.
1 Pull out the plug from the power socket.
2 Turn off the water tap.
3 Unscrew the inlet hose.
4 Place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
inlet and drain hoses into it. The water should drain
by gravity into the bowl.
5 Select and run a draining programme.
6 Clean the pump if necessary as previously
described.

8 When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above
