Problem solving guide

Opening the lid in the event of a power failure

^ Switch off the washing machine.

^Open the fluff (drain) filter and drain the water as described in "Cleaning and care" - section "Cleaning fluff fil- ter and pump".

^ Open the inner lid.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching into the machine to remove washing.

Reaching into a moving drum is ex- tremely dangerous.

To check water pressure

^ Place a bucket under the stopcock.

^ Open the stopcock fully.

If 5 litres of water flow into the bucket within 15 seconds the water pressure is correct.

^Pull the emergency release cord downwards until the machine outer lid opens.
