ly 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 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in
the drum, the appliance will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
select the spin programme.
• Load more laundry.
The load is too small.

water without affecting performance.

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.

• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.

The appliance makes an un-
usual noise

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 restart the programme.If the malfunction shows again, contact your Service Cen-
