(
see ‘Automatic Features’, Starting and Programmes
).
●
Has the drain hose been installed correctly (
see Installation
)?
●
Are the drain hose, standpipe or undersink connections blocked?
●
Has ‘Rinse Hold’ option been selected? If so press the Rinse Hold button.
●

Did your load fabric type require a high heat setting (eg. Cottons)?
If so, was Drying High Heat option selected?
●
Did you select a long enough drying time?

Was the laundry spun dry at the end of the wash programme, if not select
the spin and dry option to suit the type of fabric?

This is not a fault, we have designed the machine to release steam from the
dispenser drawer during hot washes. It may also vent during drying.

The detergent is not suitable for machine washing. If you have used the
wrong type of detergent, select a Rinse programme to flush out your machine.

You used too much detergent. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Is your water pressure too low? You may need a ‘Y’ piece adaptor to run
your machine as cold fill only.
