30 care and cleaning
• Close the pump door.
Warning!
When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as
to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to
temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken:
• pull out the plug from the power
socket;
• turn off the water tap.
• unscrew the inlet hose.
• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage
from the emergency emptying cap.
Place the end of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let
water drain out.
• screw the water inlet hose back on
and reposition the emergency
emptying cap on again into the filter
cover.
• when you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
