2.close the water tap; 
3.if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
4.open the the pump door;
5.place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the

Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below
0°C, proceed as follows:
1.Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
2.Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
3.Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again
.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0°C.
Important!Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying
hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO
VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next
washing.

No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate very
economically using very little water without affecting
performance.
Problem Cause possible/Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
 Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
 Wait some minutes.
There is water in the drum.
 Select drain or spin programme to empty out the
water.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
 Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
 Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
 Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
 Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in
because the laundry is not  evenly distributed  in the
drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation
of the drum. This may happen several times before
the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after some minutes, the laundry is still not
evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
 Redistribute the laundry.
The machine makes an unusual
noise 
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of
the machine.
