Problem:

Possible causes / Solutions:

The washer-dryer does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

•There is no power in the house.

•The door is not closed properly.

•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•The water tap has not been opened.

The icons corresponding to the “Phase in progress” flash rapidly at the same time as the ON/OFF indicator light.

•If you have selected the “Baby ” cycle or the “Easy iron ” option, when the wash cycle has finished the machine will slowly rotate the drum; to end

the cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy iron ” button. If

you have selected the “Silk ” wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; to drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy iron ” button.

•The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).

•The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

•If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washer-dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.
