Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber: 1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower
front of the washing machine (see figure); Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Cleaning the detergent dispenser 1 Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. 2 2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly normal; Caring for your appliance door and drum  Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
3.
clean the interior thoroughly; 4. screw the lid back on; 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance. Checking the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles,
water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Never use hoses that have already been used. 10 Troubleshooting Your washing
machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 12), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list. GB
Installation Problem The washing machine won't start. The wash cycle won't start.
Possible causes/Solution: Â The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact. Â There has been a power failure. Â Â Â Â
       The appliance door is not shut properly. The button has not been pressed. The START/RESET button has not been pressed. The
water tap is not turned on. A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 7). The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent.
The water tap is not turned on.
There is a water shortage. The water pressure is insufficient. The START/RESET button has not been pressed. Description The washing machine fails to load
water. Programmes The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water.
 The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see page 3).  The free end of the hose is underwater (see page 3).  The wall
drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe. If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and call for
Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload
water continuously.
In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops. Â The programme does not foresee the draining: some
programmes require enabling the draining manually (see page 6). Â The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/RESET
button (see page 7). Â The drain hose is bent (see page 3). Â The drain duct is clogged. Â When the machine is installed, the locking screws for the
oscillating assembly are still in place. Remove the screws (see page 2) Â The washing machine is not level (see page 2). Â The washing machine is closed
in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see page 2). Â The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2). Â The detergent dispenser is
obstructed (to clean it, see page 10).
 The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3). ÂThis means there is a problem with the machine. Before calling Assistance, please follow the set of
instructions below: 1. Switch off the machine. 2. Remove the plug connecting the appliance to the mains supply and wait for at least 40 seconds. 3. Place the
plug back into the socket. 4. Switch on the machine.
