ON/OFF button pressed.

The appliance will not start, but the “On/Off”

lamp is on.

Check whether:

•

the appliance door is properly closed

(child safety);

•

a programme has been selected and the programme

is started;

•

the water tap is open.If not, open the tap and switch

the appliance first off, then on.

The appliance stops during the programme.

the

“Rinse Hold”

button is pushed, terminate this

option by pressing the button again;

•

kinks are present in water hose;

•

the water hose filter is blocked;

•

the water hose is frozen up;

N.B: Afterwards switch the appliance off, then on.

Waste water not pumped out.

the drain hose is correctly installed

(see “Installation Instructions”);

•

the filter is blocked.

•

the drain hose is frozen up.

•

the “Rinse hold” button is pressed.

Detergent and additive product residues in

dispenser at end of wash.

Check whether:

•

the siphon is correctly installed and clean

(see “Care and Maintenance”);

•

enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters

between the inlet hose and the tap could be clogged

(see “Care and Maintenance”). Check and clean the

filter two or three times a year (see “Removing the

filter”).

Also see “Detergent and Additives” for information.

The appliance vibrates during the spin cycle.

Check whether:

•

the appliance is levelled and solidly installed on all

four feet (see “Installation Instructions”);

•

the transit bolts have been removed. The transit

bolts must be removed before the appliance can be

used (see “Installation Instructions”).

Water Stop fault (depending on model)

When the appliance detects a water leakage the pump

runs continuously.

Switch off the appliance, unplug it and make sure that

the water tap is closed.

The “Water Stop” may have been triggered by:

too much foam;

leakage in the inlet hose or in the appliance.

Tilt the appliance forwards carefully to allow the

collected water to flow out from the bottom of the

appliance. Then:

connect the appliance to the electrical outlet,

open the tap,

reselect the desidered programme and press the

“On/Off” button.

Important:

if the fault occurs again, call After-Sales

Service with details about the fault (see “After-Sales

Service”).

Final spin results are poor:

The appliance has an imbalance detection and

correction system. If individual heavy articles are

loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc.) this system may

reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the

appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle altogether,

if the imbalance is too great even after several spin

starts.

•

if the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle,

add smaller articles of laundry to balance the load

and repeat the spin cycle.

•

excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.

Ensure correct amount of detergent is used

Important:

this machine is fitted with a safety system.

The programme is interrupted after a few minutes if

one of the following happens:

•

no water supply;

•

pump blocked.

If the pump is blocked, switch off the appliance and

clean the pump (see “Removing the filter”). Then re-

start the appliance.
