20 THE WATER SOFTENER AND ACTIVATED CARBON CARTRIDGE
CAPS DO NOT OPEN (A-K with WTS)
This problem may arise both during installation and during use when the machine requests
salt loading or the changing of the activated carbon cartridge.
It can be due to a water treatment circuit malfunction.
Proceed as follows:
1) Switch the machine off and then on again.
2) Wait for the load salt or change cartridge alert to be displayed again, then try once more
to open the caps and carry out what is requested by the alert.
This malfunction does not affect use of the machine.
In the meantime contact Technical Assistance.
If this procedure is insufficient, this problem may not be due to a fault, but to the fact that
the machine was previously switched on or used without the water softener and the active
carbon cartridge being completely topped up with water, in order to avoid the presence
of pressurized air in the hydraulic circuit.
In this case, carry out the following procedure:
1) Switch off the machine.
2) Close the water supply.
3) Loosen the fitting on the water softener flexible connecting pipe marked “1” until internal
pressure has been totally blown off.
4) Close the fitting.
5) Open the softener cap, top up with water and reclose.
6) Open the activated carbon cap, top up with water and reclose.
7) Open the water supply again.
8) Switch the machine back on again.
21 THE DRIP TRAY IS FULL AND OVERFLOWING WITH WATER
(A-S-K-C-B)
1) Clean the drain box and use a metal wire to free the drain pipe of residue.
2) Eliminate any sagging or strangling of the flexible drain pipe, ensuring that it is always
angled downwards in a straight and even manner.
3) If the above-mentioned causes are not responsible for the fault, this means that there
is a blockage in the drain pipes external to the machine: contact a plumber.
