Problems Causes
The washing machine
doesn’t rinse or doesn’t
empty: • the drain hose is blocked or bent,
• the object trap is obstructed,
• the out of balance detector has been activated : washing is unevenly
distributed in the drum,
• the “Drain” programme or “Night Silence Plus” or “Rinse hold” option
have been selected,

You have found water
around the washing ma-
chine: • too much detergent has caused foam to overflow,

Wash is unsatisfactory: • the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,

Detergents and Additives
Only use detergents and additives designed for
use in a washing machine. We do not recommend
mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing. There are no restrictions on the use
of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not
be used when a prewash has been selected. For
