Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent

(creates too much foam) has been used.

• Reduce the detergent quantity or use anoth

-

er 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 hose is damaged.

• Change it with a new one.

The cap on the emergency emptying hose has

not been replaced or the filter has not been

properly screwed in after cleaning action.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying

hose or screw the filter fully in.

Unsatisfactory washing results:

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has

been used.

• Increase the detergent quantity or use an

-

other one.

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to

washing.

• Use commercial products to treat the stub

-

born stains.

The correct temperature was not selected.

• Check if you have selected the correct tem

-

perature.

Excessive laundry load.

• Introduce into the drum less laundry.

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 symbol 

9.5

 has gone off.

There is water in the drum.

• Select drain or spin programme to empty out

the water.

The machine vibrates or is noisy:

The transit bolts and packing have not been re

-

moved.

• Check the correct installation of the appli

-

ance.

The support feet have not been adjusted

• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the

drum.

• Redistribute the laundry.

• Load more laundry.
