• INCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR
• The cycle does not start
– You have not pressed the «Start/Pause» button
– There is no power to the machine:
- Check that the plug is correctly in the socket
- Check the circuit breaker and the fuses.
– The water tap is closed
– The machine’s lid is not closed properly
• A puddle of water forms around the machine
Warning:
First of all remove the plug and the fuse and shut off the water
supply tap.
While the machine is operating, the permanent level control prevents the
water from overflowing. If, despite this, water comes out of your machine,
it may be that:
– The drain hook is wrongly positioned in the drain pipe.
– The water supply hose is not sealed tightly at the machine or tap end:
- Check that the seals are in place and the connections are tight.
• Heavy vibration during spin
– All the transport materials have not been removed correctly from the
machine:
- Check that all the transport wedges have been removed (see
. «REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS»).
– The floor is not level.
– Your machine is resting on its two «front» castors (depending on the
model):
- Reset your machine on its feet by pushing the castor engagement lever
. to the right.
• The washing is not spun or not spun enough
You have selected a programme with no spin, for example «drip-dry»
– The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the washing in
the drum:
- Untangle the washing and programme a new spin.
• The machine does not drain
– You have programmed «Full drum stop»
– The pump filter is blocked:
- Clean it (see «CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER» for the relevant
procedure)
– The drain hose is kinked or squashed
• The lid does not open
– The programme has not yet finished
The lid remains locked throughout the programme.
• The drum doors open very slowly
(On machines fitted with gently opening doors)
– Your machine has not operated for a long time
– It is located in too cold a position.
– Detergent residue (powder) is blocking the hinges
- In all cases, everything returns to normal after the doors have opened
initially
Important :
As a general rule, whatever the anomaly detected, you should
stop the machine, unplug the power cable and shut off the water tap.
• NOTE ON OPERATION - THIS IS NOT AN
INCIDENT:
•The programme time decreases or increases during the
wash
This is not a fault. The length of time displayed at the start of the
programme is updated according to the load in the machine (automatic
weighing). This guarantees perfect washing results and water and energy
consumption appropriate to the load. This is normal. The spin safety and
anti-foam systems may extend the initial programme time displayed.

Your machine automatically detects some operating incidents and indicates
these by particular messages shown on the screen.
NB:
Before calling your breakdown engineer, we recommend that you do the
following:

open and then press the «Start/Pause» button again
to restart the cycle. This incident may also be caused

how to do this, see the section «CLEANING THE PUMP
FILTER») and then press the «Start/Pause» button
