Troubleshooting 25 9. TROUBLESHOOTING Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. During machine operation it is possible that the red Start/Pause pilot light flashes to indicate that the machine is not working. Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the program.
Troubleshooting Malfunction There is water on the floor: Unsatisfactory washing results: The door will not open: The machine vibrates or is noisy: Cycle time longer than displayed: Possible cause Solution Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings.
Troubleshooting Malfunction Possible cause The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin: The machine makes an unusual noise: No water is visible in the drum: 27 Solution Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.

Installation 29 11. INSTALLATION 11.1 Unpacking CAUTION! All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. 1. Use gloves. Remove the external film. If necessary, use a cutter. 6. Put one of the polystyrene packaging elements on the floor behind the appliance. Carefully put down the appliance with the rear side on it. Make sure not to damage the hoses. 2.
Installation 11.2 Positioning A 10. Remove the three bolts. 11. Pull out the plastic spacers. It is important that your washing machine stands firm and level on the floor to ensure correct operation. That the appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washing machine door is restricted. Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the levels. 12. Put the plastic caps in the holes.
Installation 31 When the washing machine is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock. The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Installation The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. 60 cm The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. 90 cm 32 For the correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance. 11.
