Cleaning and maintenance

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

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 on the floor. � Select the draining programme and run it until the machine stops. � Remove the plug from the socket. � 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 ice forming and consequently breakage of the affected parts. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
