Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place
where the temperature could drop
below 0°C, proceed as follows:
1. Close the water tap and unscrew
the water 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 machine 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.
