Appliances
Final spin results are poor:
The appliance has an imbalance detection and
correction system. If individual heavy articles are
loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc.) this system may
reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the
appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle
altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after
several spin starts.
•
If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the
cycle, add other articles of laundry and repeat
the spin cycle.
•
Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.
Ensure correct amount of detergent is used.
•
Check whether the spin speed has been reduced
to 0.
No water or insufficient water pressure for
appliances with safety hose:
•
the appliance has a safety hose and the safety
valve has opened (red indicator in the safety
valve inspection window).
In this case replace it with a new safety hose.
What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction?
The programme is interrupted and various indicators (if available) point to the source of the fault.
