Clean drain
Clean soap drawer

Wait a few minutes for machine to empty.
Reset button or turn "no spin" knob.

Adjust the special adjustable feet.
Remove transit brackets.
Rearrange the laundry evenly.

Wait two minutes.

The machine makes a
different noise when
spinning! This is because it
has a brush motor for better
performance.

Only a small level of water can be
seen in the drum! This is because
new machines do not use much
water, yet achieve the same
standard of washing and rinsing.

Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:
-

waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in
suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;

-

presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by
the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.

-

The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor
rinsing.

-

Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to
remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable
foam production.

-

Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
