Description

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem

can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.

Problem

The washing machine won't

start.

The washing machine does not

fill with water (The wording

H2O is displayed).

The machine continuously fills

and empties with water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates

too much during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

There is too much foam.

Possible causes/Solution:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to

make contact.

• There has been a power failure.

• The appliance door is not shut properly (the word DOOR is

displayed).

• The

button has not been pressed.

• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

NB: It should be held minimum one second.

• The water tap is not turned on.

• A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 9).

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap is not turned on.

• There is a water shortage.

• The water pressure is insufficient.

• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not too low or too far in to the stand pipe (see page 3)

for correct installation.

• The wall drainage system doesn't have a standard pipe (min. 38 mm).

• Some programs have a slower final spin to taked best care of the

fabrics. See page 8 for details of the final spin speed for each program.

• The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes

require enabling the draining manually (see page 8).

• The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press

the START/RESET button (see page 9).

• The drain hose is bent (see page 3).

• Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or under-sink trap and

check for blockages, ensuring that the water can drain freely away

from the machine.

• Check that the transit bolts were removed correctly during installation

(carefully read pages 2 and 3).

• The washing machine is not level (see page 2).

• The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and

the wall (see page 2).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).

• The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 12).

• The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the definition

"for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like).

• You used too much detergent.
