Problem:

The machine does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The machine does not fill with water or “H2O” will flash on the display.

Possible causes / Solutions:

The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.

The door is not closed properly.

The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.

A delayed start has been set.

The water pressure is too low.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.

There is no water supply to the house.

The inlet valve filter is blocked.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum

or Stuck on wash.

The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).

The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.

The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the ‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.

The machine does not drain or spin or F05 error code in the display.

The Pump filter is blocked.

The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).

New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if connected under a sink.

The machine does not heat or poor wash results.

The programme takes too long or The Display changes the estimated ‘Time to End’ during the programme.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The ‘Temperature’ selector knob is in the “” position.

Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water tempera- ture and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below).

The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.

New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.

The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
