Water Inlet Filter; Emergency Emptying Out; Frost Precautions - Zanussi WJS 1272 Instruction Booklet

4. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap: to do this first
depress the yellow knob on the hose and then
unscrew it.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

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;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• 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 P 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.
