Is there space between the machine and adjacent units? If it is not a built-in model, the washing machine will oscillate a bit during the spin cycle. A few cm of space should therefore be left around it.

The washing machine does not drain or spin.

Does the selected programme incorporates water draining? Some programmes stop at the end of the wash cycles and draining will have to be selected manually.

Is the “Easy iron” function -where provided - enabled? This function requires manual selection for draining.
