Check whether:
• the siphon is correctly installed and clean
(see “Care and maintenance”);
• enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters
between the inlet hose and the tap could be
clogged (see “Care and maintenance”). Check
and clean the filter two or three times a year
(see “Removing the Filter”).
Also see “Detergent and Additives”.
Machine vibrates during spin cycle.
Check whether:
• Machine is perfectly horizontal with all four feet
on ground (see “Installation”);
• the transit bolts have been removed. The transit
bolts must be removed before the appliance can
be used (see “Installation”).
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 smaller articles of laundry to balance
the load and repeat the spin cycle.
• Excessive foam formation may also prevent
spinning. Ensure correct amount of detergent is
used.
Important: wait one hour and if the fault re-
occurs, contact After-Sales Service, quoting the
error number displayed (see “After-Sales Service”).
