6. Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), 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;
• slightly loosen the filter to let the water come out
slowly;
• at the end screw the filter again.

7. 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 drain hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select draining programme and run it until the
machine stops.
• Switch the machine OFF by depressing button
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
drain 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.
