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 - (error lights flashing).

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 ‘SILK’ program is selected, at the end of the program it requires the drain phase to be started. To complete the program press either the ‘START/PAUSE’ or ‘EASY IRON’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Options).

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 sticks at one ‘time to end’ for more than 1 Minute or the Display changes the estimated ‘Time to End’ during the programme.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

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 time accordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!)

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.
