IMPORTANT!
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.
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;
• Close the pump
door.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water
inlet hose. Clean the
filter using a hard
bristle brush. Tighten
up the inlet hose.
