during the spin cycle.
Has the internal floating
unit been correctly
unblocked during
installation?
See the
following page on installation
procedures.
Has the washer-dryer been

The
levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. In time, the
machine could move
imperceptibly. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.
Is the appliance closed in
between furniture and a

If it is not a built-in
model, the washer-dryer needs
to oscillate a bit during the
spin cycle. A few cm of space
should therefore be left around
it.

too much foam, does not
guarantee a more effective
wash, and causes scaling in the
internal parts of the appliance.
