Leak-proof System
This system is designed to prevent water leaks from
thewashingmachine,andincludesthefollowing
components:
1) Leak sensor
Located on the base plate of the washing machine, this sensor detects leaks and stops the
washing machine. If this happens, an error display starting with H (e.g. H 01) will appear,
and you should contact your Customer Service Centre.
2) Hose with water-supply valve (certain types of washing machine only)
If this type of hose becomes damaged and leaks, the valve closes automatically and stops
the water supply.
3) Overflow detection
If water collects in the washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the
washing machine overflowing by stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.
