What might be the cause of...
Defects you can remedy yourself
Before calling GIAS Service for technical advice please run through the
following checklist. A charge will be made if the machine is found to be
working or has been installed incorrectly or used incorrectly. If the problem
persists after completing the recommended checks, please call the GIAS
Service, they may be able to assist you over the telephone.
The machine will not start...
●
Close the door. Check that there is power to the machine. Select a
programme and press Avvio Pausa. Check if the door lock light is
illuminated.
If it is not, check the following:
1. Is the machine connected to the electrical supply?
2. Is the electrical supply OK, check another socket?
3. Has the fuse on the machine blown? If so, replace it.
● If the door locked light is illuminated and the machine does not start this
means that the machine cannot fill with water, check the following:
1. Check the programme dial is correctly aligned with the programme.
2. Is the water supply to the machine switched on?
3. Are the pipes kinked or restricted in any way?
Water does not drain away...
● Ensure that there is not a blockage in the drain hose or the hose is not
kinked.
● Is the drain hose installed correctly? If connected to the sink waste make
sure you have cut the membrane or removed the bung from the under
sink drainage unit.
● Check for foreign bodies in the filter. If present, clean the filter.
If you have found any of the above problems correct them and run the
machine through a spin cycle to drain the water.
●
Is the Stiro Veloce function selected? If so, deselect the option and the
programme will complete (see page 21 for complete explanation of the
