Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not  evenly distributed  in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
If, after 6 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and select the spin programme.

The machine makes an unusual
noise

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

No water is visible in the drum

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water  without affecting performance.

The machine vibrates when spinning

The internal packing has not been removed.

The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).

The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

Unsatisfactory washing results

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing

The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.

Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
