The drainage area must be cleaned if the pump has been blocked with objects such as buttons, safety pins, coins, etc. , or if lint has built up because clothes that generate lint have been washed at high temperatures. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.
4. The water inlet hose filter 6. Frost precautions If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. • disconnect the appliance; Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. • close the water tap; Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service. During machine operation it is possible that the END (FIN) light starts to flash: 4 flashes= the door has not been closed 2 flashes= the machine does not empty 1 flash= the machine does not fill. Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre. Problem Possible cause • The door is not firmly closed.
Problem Possible cause • Water is not visible in the machine: • The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent. • Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin: • 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.
