The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
There is no power at the socket.
• Please check your domestic electrical installation.
The main fuse has blown.
• Replace the fuse.
The programme selector dial is not correctly positioned and the button 6
has not been pressed.
• Please turn the selector dial and press the button 6 again.
The delay start has been selected.
• If the laundry are to be washed immediately, cancel the delay start.
The appliance fills
then empties immedi-
ately:The end of the drain hose is too low.
• Refer to paragraph in Water drainage in chapter Installation.
The appliance does
not empty and/or does
not spin:An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or a
that eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
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 inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.
The door will not
open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the door lock is released.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The appliance vibrates
noisily:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The appliance is not levelled correctly.
• Adjust the feet.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

Spinning starts late or
the appliance does not
spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laun-
dry 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 10 mi-
nutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the appli-
ance will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select
the spin programme.
• Load more laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the
spinning programme.
No water is visible in
the drum:Appliances based on modern technology operate very economically us-
ing very little water without affecting performance.

							MalfunctionPossible cause / Solution
Unsatisfactory wash-
ing results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The appliance makes
an unusual noiseThe appliance is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a
softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when
spinning, as well as increased stability of the appliance.
After completing these checks, switch on
the appliance and press the button 6 to re-
start the programme.
If the malfunction shows again, contact
your Service Centre.
