6. Emergency emptying out

If the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows
to empty out the machine:
• Pull out the plug from the power socket.
• Close the water tap.
• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
• Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and
place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. The water should drain by gravity
into the bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap
on again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out.
• Clean the filter if necessary.
• At the end screw the filter again.
7. The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the
emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on
the floor and let the water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
emergency emptying hose back in its place after
having screwed the cap on again.
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
