Solution
• Make sure plug fits tightly in wall
outlet.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Do not increase fuse capacity. If
problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Turn on water supply tap.
• Close the door and press the Start/
Pause button. After pressing the
Start/Pause button, it may take a
few moments before the washing
machine begins to spin. The door
must be locked before spin can be
achieved. Add 1 or 2 similar items to
help balance the load. Rearrange
load to allow proper spinning.
• Check if the 'Door Lock' icon is
illuminated. You can safely open the
door after the 'Door Lock' icon turns
off.
• This is normal. The time remaining
shown in the display is only an
estimate. Actual time may vary.
• Follow softener guidelines to ensure
appropriate amount is used. Do not
exceed the maximum fill line.
• Follow the guidelines provided by the
detergent manufacturer.
• Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
Do not open the drawer during the
wash cycle.
• Make sure that all four feet are
stable and that the machine is level.
• When a washing programme has
ended, the washing machine detects
whether it is necessary to refill the
detergent. Therefore, no alarm
appears until the next refill sensing
check.
• Press again after closing the door.
