Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

What to do if… Problem 25 Possible cause/Solution There is water on the floor: Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. • Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. • Check the water inlet hose connection. The drain or the inlet hose is damaged. • Replace it with a new one.
26 Consumption values Problem Possible cause/Solution The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after Spinning starts late or the machine does not some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly spin: distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. • Redistribute the laundry.
