Programme Times

The times in the handbook and displayed at the start of the cycle, are average times and will be
affected by the following points:
• Inlet water temperature below 19°C
• Tab option enabled
• Water hardness setting set to positions 4 or 5
• Condition of the heating element (limescale built up)
• Excessive foam caused by using tablets with a small or light load.
NOTE: - The display is not a count down timer. It is normal occasionally for the same time to show
for an extended period.

Machine Starts up for a few minutes when not in use

The machine inlet valve is 'letting by' and water is leaking into the machine when not in use.
Providing the machine is plugged in and the door closed (it does not have to be switched on), once
the water in the machine is enough to operate the pressure switch to full level, the machine drain
pump will energise until the pressure switch resets to empty (plus 30 seconds).
Note: - Fault code F2 displays if the water letting by is fast enough to be recognised by the water
turbine.
