The washer-dryer does not drain or spin.

Does the selected program incorporate water drai- ning? Some programs stop at the end of the wash cycle and draining will have to be selected manually.

Is the “Easy iron" 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 washer- dryer and follow the instructions on page 15, or call technical support.

Is the drain hose kinked?

Always get

assistance from

authorized service agent and always insist on original spare parts.

The drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure the drain hose is not crimped or kinked.

Is the washer-dryer’s drain hose clogged? Is there an extension of the drain hose? If so, is it positioned incorrectly, blocking the water flow?

Excessive vibration during the spin cycle.

Have all shipping bolts been removed during installation? See the

following page on installation procedures.

Has the washer-dryer been levelled correctly? The levelling of the appliance

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

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

The washer-dryer 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.

The washer-dryer does not dry.

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly inserted into the socket; there is electricity in your home; the appliance door has been shut properly; a delayed start (if available) has not been selected; program knob A has been set to Reset and the drying cycle knob B has been set to position 0 minutes.

But where did all the water go?

Simple: with the new technology, you need less than half of it, to get good results on twice as much!

This is why you cannot see the water through the door:

because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without renouncingmaximumcleanliness.

And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

The washer-dryer doesn't dry properly.

Check whether:

1)the end of the drain hose is underwater; 2) the drain pump is obstructed; 3) the advice given on the maxi- mum loads has been taken;

4)the water tap has been turned on.

If, despite all checks, the washer-dryer fails to function and the problem persists, call your nearest authorized Customer Service Centre, providing the following information:

-the nature of malfunction

-the model type no. (Mod. ....)

-the serial number (S/N ....)
