ture could drop below 0°C, remove the remaining water
from the inlet hose and the drain pump.
1. disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. close the water tap
3. unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap;
4. put the two ends of the inlet hose in a container
and let the water flow out of the hose.
5. empty the drain pump as described in the ‘Emer-
gency emptying out’ section.
6. when the drain pump is empty, install the water in-
let hose again.
Warning!
Make sure that the temperature is more than 0 °C be-
fore you use the appliance again.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages
caused by low temperatures.
Emergency emptying out
If the appliance cannot drain the water, proceed as fol-
lows to empty out the machine:
1. pull out the plug from the power socket;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
4. open the pump door;
5. place a container on the floor below the recess of
the drain pump;
6. press the two levers and pull forward the drainage
duct to let the water flow out;
7. when the container is full of water, put the drainage
duct back again and empty the container;
repeat this operation until water stops flowing out;
8. if necessary clean the pump (refer to the section
‘Cleaning the pump’ );
9. close the drain pump door.
When you drain the water with the emergency drain pro-
cedure, you must activate again the drain system:
1. Put 2 litres of water in the main wash compartment
of the detergent dispenser.
2. Start the programme to drain the water.
What to do if…
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance
or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling
out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service
Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the red pilot
light of button 7 blinks, one of the following alarm codes
appears on the display and some acoustic signals
sound every 20 seconds to indicate that the machine is
not working:
•
: problem with the water supply.
•
: problem with the water draining.
•
: door open.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the button
7 to restart the programme. If after all checks, the prob-
lem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
