Hotpoint AQM8F 49 U instruction manual

The machine wont spin properly.

The machine leaks from the dispenser.

• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this
	EN
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.

•The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.

•The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.

•The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.

The machine leaks (other than dispenser).

The Phase in Progress indicator lights flash rapidly at the same time as the ON/OFF indicator light.

The machine smells.

The machine door cannot be opened.

Door Seal damaged at the bottom.

The water level is too low when the machine is washing.

The word ‘dON’ appears intermittently in the display window and the drum slowly turns.

The machine just ‘beeps’ when a programme or option is selected (Child Lock Symbol is lit).

Clothes are coming out too wet on ‘Steam Refresh’ cycle.

There is too much foam.

•The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.

•The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill hose is missing the rubber washer.

•The drain hose is not fixed in properly.

•Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance Centre.

•The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with detergent and no laundry.

•The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after the program has finished.

•If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking procedure (see Precautions & Tips).

•The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.

•The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.

•To exit, switch machine off, then press and hold ‘ON/OFF’ and ‘START/PAUSE’ buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

•Deactivate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding in the ‘CHILD LOCK’ button for 2 seconds.

•Only dry items are to be used for this program. The program refreshes garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres, also making items easier to iron if required.

•The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text ‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).

•Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.

After completing the programme, or before starting a programme, the machine has turned itself off (no lights).

General.

•To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.

•Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!

Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above. Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine. Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine washable.
