4. The water inlet hose filter
If it takes longer to fill up the washing machine it is time to check the water inlet hose filter it may be clogged. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the fixing nut of the inlet hose. Remove the filter from the electrovalve and clean it with a hard bristle brush and replace it. Screw on the nut thoroughfully.

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.
