... the machine does not empty or does not spin:
■ Check whether the drain hose is kinked.
■ Check whether the filter is blocked,
■ You have selected a programme for synthetics, délicates or
wool which ends “with the water left in the drum”.
You have to select the “drain” or “short spin” programme to
empty the machine.
... the machine makes strange noises:
■ The machine is fitted with a modern starting system which
makes an unusual whistling or hissing noise, compared with
other machines.
This new system allows spinning to be started more gently
and provides better control of gradual increase in spin speed.
This improves machine performance and reduces water con­
sumption.
... too much foam forms during washing:
■ Too much detergent is being used or the detergent is of the
wrong type. Check the amounts required.
... water is leaking from the bottom of the machine:
■ Check whether the inlet hose is leaking.
■ Check whether the drain hose clip has worked loose.
■ Check whether the drain hose is damaged.
■ Check that the filter is fully screwed in and properly fitted.
... washing results are poor:
■ Too little detergent has been used or detergent is of the wrong
type.
If insufficient detergent is used, the laundry will look grey and
lime deposits will be left in the machine. Use the correct
amount of detergent.
■ Check whether stains were adequately treated prior to wash­
ing.
■ Check whether the programme and temperature selected
were correct.
... stains remain even though they have been treated before
washing:
■ Probably the stains are indelible. Check with an expert,
... there are grey marks on the laundry:
■ Laundry stained with grease, creams or oil has been washed
with insufficient detergent. The detergent was not strong
enough to shift these stains.
■ Check whether the temperature selected was too low.
- If the appliance is to be installed under a worktop in a fitted
kitchen or laundry room, the appliance cover must first be
removed and a protective plate must then be fitted, as
described in the installation instructions.
■ Do not allow children to play with the appliance and keep pets
well away from it.
■ For safety, when disposing of the appliance make sure that the
door catch is inoperative and cut off fhe power supply cable.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by
incorrect or improper use of the appliance for purposes for
which it was not originally designed.
Never put your hands in the drum whilst it is still rotating.
Never touch the glass in the porthole door when the appliance
is being used on a high-temperature programme; the glass gets
very hot and can cause bums.
There is a danger of scalding if the porthole door or filter cover
are opened during operation.
The water drain hose must be properly fixed to avoid any risk of
scalding or flooding.
- In the event of a fault, close the mains water tap and discon­
nect the appliance from fhe power supply by pulling out the
plug or switching the safety circuit breaker (or breakers) to
the OFF position.
Keep packaging materials away from children, especially cello­
phane which is particularly dangerous.
If washing garments which have previously been dry cleaned,
first make sure that any remaining inflammable solvents have
completely evaporated.
If the appliance is to be connected to a rainwater or other simi­
lar source of water instead of the mains water supply, follow the
Water Board regulations.
The appliance must only be used to tumble dry normal house­
hold laundry.
Dry only laundry which has previously been washed in water.
It is quite normal for the sides of the appliance to get hot during
drying. Avoid touching them!
