Draining the suds pump
Drain all water...

• in the event of a power failure (as a
"temporary measure");

At room temperatures below 0 °C the
remaining water in the appliance
could freeze, damaging it.

ered by the warranty.

er cable, close the water tap.

Allow hot suds to cool down first. Risk
of scalding!
