Problems Causes
The washing results are
not satisfactory :
• the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,
• there is too much washing in the drum,
• the wash cycle is unsuitable,
• there isn’t enough detergent.
The appliance vibrates, is
noisy:
• all packaging have not been removed from the appliance (see “Installation”),
• the appliance isn’t level and is unbalanced (see “Installation”),
• the appliance is too close to the wall or furniture,
• washing is unevenly distributed in the drum, the load is too small,
• the appliance is in running in period, noise will disappear with time.
The wash cycle is much
too long:
• the water inlet filters are dirty (see “Care and cleaning ”),
• the power or water supply has been cut off,
• the motor overheating detector has been activated,
• the water inlet temperature is lower than usual,
• the foam detection security system has been activated (too much detergent)
and the washing machine has begun draining the foam,
• the out of balance detector has been activated: an extra phase has been
added to distribute washing more evenly in the drum.
The appliance stops during
a wash cycle:
• the water or electricity supply is defective,
• a “Rinse hold” has been selected,
• the drum shutters are open.
The lid doesn’t open at the
end of the cycle:
• the temperature inside the drum is too high,
• the lid unlocks 1 - 2 minutes after the end of the cycle.
Softener runs directly into
the drum when filling the
dispenser box:
• you have gone past the MAX indicator.

Helpful hints and tips
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, syn-
thetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on
the laundry care labels.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the
first wash. We recommend that you wash
them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks
and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
