Cleaning the water inlet filter(s) If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter(s) may become clogged.

Tighten up the inlet hose(s). 62 Cleaning and maintenance 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(s); · 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. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. 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. 63 The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. · Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out. · Screw the water inlet hose(s) back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again. · When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. 64 Something not working? If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.
