The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum

or Stuck on wash.

•The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).

•The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

•Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).

•The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish and may vary.

•The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.

•New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.

•The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
