•

The porthole door has not been shut properly.

•

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•

The water tap has not been turned on.

•

The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

•

•

•

The end of the outlet hose has not been fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (

see “Installation”).

•

The free end of the hose is underwater (

see “Installation”).

•

If If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may

be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine

to load and drain water continuously. Special anti-draining valves are

available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

•

The water drainage systemis not fitted with a breather pipe.

•

The  programme  does  not  include  a  draining  phase:  some  programmes

require  manual  draining  (

see  “Programmes  and  options”).

•

The “Reduced Creases” option is enabled: to complete the programme,

press  the  START/PAUSE  button 

(see “Programmes  and  options”).

•

The outlet hose is bent (

see “Installation”).

•

The drainage duct is clogged.

•

The drum was not unlocked properly when the appliance was installed

(see  “Installation”).

•

The  washing  machine  is  not  level  (

see  “Installation”).

•

The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and a wall 

(see “Installation”).

•

The load is not balanced properly (

see “Description of the machine”).

•

The water inlet hose is not screwed on to the tap correctly (

see “Installation”).

•

The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for instructions on how to

clean it,

  see  “Care  and  maintenance”).

•

The outlet hose has not been secured properly (

see “Installation”).

•

Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for

approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.

If  the  problem  persists,  contact  Assistance.

•

The detergent is not designed for machine washing (the packaging

should state that the product is “for washing by machine”, “for

washing  by  hand  or  machine”  or  similar).

•

Too much detergent was used.

•

Follow  the  manual  unlocking  procedure 

(see  “Precautions  and  tips”).

 

If the problem persists after the above checks have been carried out,

shut off the water tap, switch off the machine and contact Assistance.

From  time  to  time  your  machine  may  not  operate  as  it  should.  Before  calling  for  Assistance  (
