Overflow guard function

If the machine's water level rises above the
normal level, the overflow guard function begins
to pump water out and shuts off the water
intake. If the water level has not dropped within
60 seconds, the program is terminated.
Transport/Winter storage
If the machine is to be transported or stored in
unheated premises where the temperature can
fall below freezing, do as follows:
• Empty the filter and the drainage pump. See
the "Care and cleaning" chapter.
• Shut off the water to the washing machine,
loosen the supply hose to the intake valve
and let the water run out from the valve and
hose.
• After emptying the pump, a small amount of
water may remain in the machine. This does
not affect quality or damage the machine.
