The  machine  is  noisy.

The  machine  wont  spin

properly.

The  machine  leaks  from  the

dispenser.

The  machine  leaks  (other  than

dispenser).

The  indicator  lights  on  the

console  are  flashing  rapidly.

The  machine  smells.

The  machine  door  cannot  be

opened.

Door  Seal  damaged  at  the

bottom.

The  water  level  is  too  low

when  the  machine  is  washing.

There  is  too  much  foam.

After  completing  the

programme,  or  before  starting

a  programme,  the  machine  has

turned  itself  off  (no  lights).

General.

• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.

• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle -

If this happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the

distribution of the load required before the machine will go into

higher spin speeds - This will increase the programme time

accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  Out of

Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet,

quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.

• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.

• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn

down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.

• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.

• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.

• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber

washers, or the fill hose is missing the rubber washer.

• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1

minute and then switch it back on again If the problem persists

contact  the  Technical  Assistance  Service.

• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with

detergent and no laundry.

• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out

shortly  after  the  program  has  finished.

•  The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.

•  The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should

display the text  'for washing machines' or 'hand and machine

wash' or the like).

• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted

   with an automatic standby system. Press 'ON/OFF' button for 3

   seconds to activate the machine, it can then either be switched

off or a new programme selected.

• Your  washing  machine  contains  sensors  that  monitor  progress

during  the  wash  cycle  (eg:  Water  Levels,  Temperatures,  Out  of

Balance  loads,  Wash  time/progress).  Normally,  if  your  machine

successfully  completes  the  cycle,  there  is  unlikely  to  be  anything

wrong!

Remember,  you  will  be  charged  for  a  service  call  for  problems  caused  by  incorrect  installation,

as  listed  above.
Not  emptying  contents  from  pockets  may  cause  pump  or  drain  blockages,  or  may  damage  the

machine.
Do  not  wash  items  which  do  not  have  a  wash  label,  or  wash  items  that  are  not  intended  as

machine  washable.
