Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate
for machine washing?

 Check

whether the definition on its
label reads “for machine wash”
or “hand and machine wash”,
or any other similar wording.

Is the correct amount being
used? 

An excessive amount of

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

The washer-dryer

does not dry.

 

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly
inserted into the socket; there
is electricity in your home; the
appliance door has been shut
properly; a delayed start (if
available) has not been
selected; program knob 

A

has been set to 

Reset

 and

the drying cycle knob 

B

 has

been set to position

0 minutes

.

The washer-dryer doesn't
dry properly.

 

Check whether:

1)

 the end of the drain hose

is underwater; 

2)

  the drain

pump is obstructed;

  3)

  the

advice given on the maxi-
mum loads has been taken;

4)

  the water tap has been

turned on.

If, despite all checks, the
washer-dryer fails to function
and the problem persists, call
your nearest authorized
Customer Service Centre,
providing the following
information:

- the nature of malfunction
- the model type no. (Mod. ....)
-   the serial number (S/N ....)

This information can be found
on the data plate situated at the
back of the washer-dryer.

Is there space between the
machine and adjacent
units?

 If it is not a built-in

model, the washer-dryer will
oscillate a bit during the spin
cycle. A few cm of space
should therefore be left
around it.

The washer-dryer

leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet
hose properly attached?

Turn off  the water supply,
unplug the appliance and try
tightening its attachment
without forcing it.

Is the detergent dispenser
obstructed? 

Remove and

wash it under tap water.

Is the drain hose well
attached?

 Turn off the water

supply, unplug the
appliance and try tightening
its attachment.

The drain hose must be as
straight as possible. Make
sure the drain hose is not
crimped or kinked.

Is the washer-dryer’s drain
hose clogged? 

Is there an

extension of the drain hose?
If so, is it positioned
incorrectly, blocking the
water flow?

Excessive vibration
during the spin cycle.

Have all  shipping bolts
been removed during
installation? 

See the

following page on
installation procedures.

Has the washer-dryer been
levelled correctly?

 The

levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.

The washer-dryer

does not drain or

spin.

Does the selected program
incorporate water drai-
ning?

 Some programs stop

at the end of the wash cycle
and draining will have to be
selected manually.

Is the “Easy iron"  function
-where provided - enabled?

This function requires manual
selection for draining.

Is the drain pump clogged?

To check it, turn off the water
supply, unplug the washer-
dryer and follow the
instructions on page 15, or
call technical support.

Is the drain hose kinked?

Always get

assistance from

authorized service

agent and always

insist on original

spare parts.

Simple: with the new  technology,  you need less than
half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without
renouncing maximum cleanliness.
And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

But where did all the water go?
