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 inlet hose is kinked.

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

•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 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 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 drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

•The Spin Speed is set to “OFF”.

•If the ‘EASY IRON’ option is enabled, at the end of the program the machine drum will rotate slowly. To complete the program press the ‘START/PAUSE’ or the ‘EASY IRON’ buttons.

•If the ‘DELICATES’ or ‘OUTWEAR’ programs are selected, at the end of the program it requires the drain phase to be started. To complete the program press the ‘START/PAUSE’ or the ‘EASY IRON’ buttons.

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

•The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish and may vary.

•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.

•The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at a lower speed.
