Operating Problems Numerous checks were carried out on your appliance be-fore it left the factory. However, should you notice a mal-function, please refer to the sections below before contact-ing the after-sales service.Problems CausesThe washing machinedoesn’t start or doesn’t fill:• the appliance isn’t plugged in correctly, the electrical installation isn’t working,• the lid of your appliance and the drum shutters aren’t closed firmly,• the programme start command hasn’t been properly selected,• there is a power failure,• the water supply has been cut off,• the water inlet tap is closed,• the water inlet filters are dirty, a red tab appears on the water inlet hose

The appliance fills but emp-ties straight away:• the drainage U-piece is fixed too low (see installation section). 7Problems Causes The washing machine doesn’t rinse or doesn’t emp- ty:

• the drain hose is blocked or bent,

• the object trap is obstructed,

• the out of balance detector has been activated : washing is unevenly distributed in the drum,

the “Drain” programme or “Night Silence Plus

” or “Rinse hold” option have been selected,

• the height of the drainage U-piece is unsuitable. You have found water around the washing machine:

• too much detergent has caused foam to overflow,

• the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,

• the drainage U-piece isn’t attached correctly,

• the water inlet hose is leaking. Wash is unsatisfactory: • the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,

• there is too much washing in the drum,

• the wash cycle is unsuitable,

• there isn’t enough detergent. The appliance vibrates, is noisy:

• all packaging have not been removed from the appliance (see installation section),

• the appliance isn’t level and is unbalanced,

• the appliance is too close to the wall or furniture,

• washing is unevenly distributed in the drum,

• the load is too small,

• the appliance is in running in period, noise will disappear with time. The wash cycle is much too long:

• the water inlet filters are dirty,

• the power or water supply has been cut off,

• the motor overheating detector has been activated,

• the water inlet temperature is lower than usual,

• the foam detection security system has been activated (too much detergent) and the washing machine has begun draining the foam,

• the out of balance detector has been activated: an extra phase has been added to distribute washing more evenly in the drum. The washing machine stops during a wash cycle:

• the water or electricity supply is defective,

• a Rinse hold has been selected,

• the drum shutters are open. The lid doesn’t open at the end of the cycle:

the “immediate opening”

• the temperature inside the drum is too high,

the lid unlocks 1 - 2 minutes after the end of the cycle

• the lid is not closed properly. 8Problems Causes The “Start/Pause” pushbut- ton

• the object trap is obstructed,

• the drain hose is blocked or bent,

• the drain hose is fixed to high (see "Installation" section),

• the drainage pump is blocked,

• the water tap is closed,

• the water supply has been cut off. Softener runs directly into the drum when filling the dispenser box:

• you have gone past the MAX indicator.

1) Depending on model.

2) On some models, the auditable signals can sound

3) After solving any problems, press "Start/Pause" pushbutton to restart the interrupted programme.

Detergents and Additives Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. We do not recommend mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing. There are no restrictions on the use of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not be used when a prewash has been se- lected. For cycles without prewash, they must be added via means of a dosing ball. Detergent tablets or doses must be placed in the detergent compartment of your ap- pliance's dispenser box.

To install your washing machine at the same level as sur- rounding furniture, proceed as shown on picture 4. Water supply Install the supplied water inlet hose at the rear of your washing machine by proceeding as follows. Do not reuse an old hose. The water inlet hose can not be extended. If it is too short, please contact the after-sales service.

Open the water inlet tap. Check there are no leaks. Drainage Fit the U-piece on the drain- age hose. Place everything in a drainage point (or in a sink) at a height of between 70 and 100 cm. Ensure it is positioned securely. Air must be able to enter the end of the hose, to avoid any risk of siphoning. The drain hose must never be stretched. If it is too short, contact an engineer. Electrical connection This washing machine must only be connected in single- phased 230 V. Check the fuse size: 13 A for 230 V. The appliance must not be connected with an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure that the plug is earthed and that it is in accordance with current regulations. Positioning Position the appliance on a flat and hard surface in a ven- tilated location. Ensure the appliance does not come into contact with the wall or other furniture. Accurate levelling avoids vibrations, noise and prevents the appliance from moving when running.
