2. Remove the water inlet hose from
the water tap.

with a stiff brush.

8.9 The Dangers Of Freezing

If the machine is exposed to
temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken.
Disconnect the mains plug
from the mains socket.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the inlet hose.
3. Put a bowl below the recess of
the drain pump to collect the
water that flows out.
4. Remove the drain hose from the
rear support and unhook it from
sink or spigot.
Put the ends of the drain and
inlet hose in a container. Let the
water flow out of the hoses.
5. When no more water flows,
install the inlet hose and the
drain hose again.
