4. The water inlet hose filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.

6. Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: � disconnect the appliance; � close the water tap; � if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; � open the drainage area door; � place a bowl to collect the water that will flow out; � release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap; � when the water stops flowing out, put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

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.

5. 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; � open the drainage area door; � place a bowl to collect the water; � release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose; � empty the bowl, repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine; � replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.
