bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.

• OutofBalancedetectedwhenattemptingtogointoaspincycle-Ifthis
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the
load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will
increase the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to pre-
vent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item
(eg duvet, quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.
