Emergency Emptying Out; Frost Precautions - Electrolux EW878F Instruction Booklet

5. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged), proceed
as follows to empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let the
water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the
outlet hose because, for example, the appliance is
built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.

6. Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the outlet hose and that of the
inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select the draining programme (11) and run it until
the machine stops.
• Switch the machine off.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
outlet hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
