AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Before contacting After-Sales Service:

1. Try to remedy the problem yourself (see 

“Troubleshooting Guide”).

2. Restart the programme to check whether the 

problem has solved itself.

3. If the machine continues to function incorrectly, 

call After-Sales Service.

Specify:

• The nature of the problem.

• The exact model of the washing machine.

• The service code (number after the word 

SERVICE).

The After-Sales Service sticker is in the 
lid of the foreign body trap or on the rear 
of the machine.

• Your full address.

• Your telephone number and area code.

As a priority, you should contact the After-Sales 
Service of the retailer who supplied you with the 
washing machine.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

1. Unplug the washing machine.

2. Turn off the tap.

3. Remove the water supply and drain hose.

4. Eliminate all water from the hoses and the washing 

machine (see “Draining residual water”).
Wait for the water to cool so as to avoid any accidents.

5. To facilitate moving the machine, pull the handle situated 

at the bottom front (optional on certain models) out a little 
by hand and pull it out to the stop with the foot. 
Afterwards push the handle back into the original stable 
position.

6. Fix the transport bracket again for transportation.

7. Transport the washing machine upright.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the washing machine while the 
handle is pulled out.
