Technical characteristics

Is the drain hose kinked? The tract of the drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure the drain hose is not squashed or kinked.

Is the washing machine’s drain duct clogged? Is there an extension of the drain hose? If so, is it positioned

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 “Anti-crease" function -where provided - enabled? This function requires manual selection for draining.

Is the drain pump clogged? To check it, turn off the water supply, unplug the washing machine and follow the instructions on page 12, or call for technical assistance.

Always get

assistance from

authorised

technicians and always insist on original spare parts.

incorrectly, blocking the water flow?

Excessive vibration during the spin cycle.

Have all transit screws been removed durind instal- lation? See the following page on installation procedures.

Has the washing machine been levelled correctly? The levelling of the appliance

should be checked periodically. Adjust the feet and check them with a level.

The washing machine leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment without forcing it.

Is the detergent dispenser obstructed? Remove and wash it under tap water.

Is the drain hose well attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate for machine washing? Check whether the definition on its label reads “for machine wash” or “hand and machine wash”, or any other similar wording.

Is the correct amount being used? An excessive amount of detergent, besides producing too much foam, does not guarantee a more effective wash, and causes scaling in the internal parts of the appliance.
