21   Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
 Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
hose and place the latter back in its seat.
  Screw the pump cover fully in.
 Close the pump door.
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.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.




Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, 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 pump door;
 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
bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the
hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;
 clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;
 replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat
after having plugged it;
 screw the pump cover again and close the door.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
 Remove the plug from the socket.
 Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
 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.
 Turn the programme selector dial to O.
 Switch the machine off by depressing ON/OFF
button.
 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 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.
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.

Problem Possible cause
• Spinning starts late or the
laundry is not spun enough:• 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 6 minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,
the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not
spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is
not spun enough, redistribute the load manually
and select the spin programme.
• Water is not visible in the
machine:• The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way with low
water consumption. Performance is nevertheless
excellent.
• The machine makes an unusual
noise:• The machine is fitted with a commutator motor
which improves machine performance.
• The door will not open:• The programme is still running.
• The door lock has not yet released.
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
• The machine is heating the water.
