User manual

1. close the water tap and unscrew the wa-
ter inlet hose from the tap;
2. place the end of the emergency emptying
hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain
out;
3. screw the water inlet hose back on and
reposition the emergency emptying hose
after having put the cap on again.
By doing this, any water remaining in the ma-
chine is removed, avoiding ice forming and
consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure
that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
Important! 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 detergent remains unused at next
washing.
