the appliance is plugged in;

•

the wall socket is functioning correctly

(use a table lamp or similar).

•

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.

Check whether:

•

the

“Rinse Hold”

button is pushed, terminate

this option by pressing the button again;

•“On/Off”

lamp is off. Press

“On/Off”

button;

No water or insufficient water supply.

Check whether:

•

the tap is turned on completetly;

•

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.

Check whether:

•

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.
