13.5 TROUBLESHOOTING

Slight faults can sometimes be eliminated by the user with the aid of the following instructions.
1. If the programme fails to start, make sure that:

The appliance is connected to the electrical mains.

The appliance is receiving power.

The water tap is turned on.

The door of the appliance has been closed properly.
2. If water stagnates in the device, make sure that:

There are no tight bends in the drain hose.

The drain trap is not clogged.

The appliance filters are not clogged.
3.
If the items in the load for washing in general are not cleaned properly, make sure that:

The right amount of detergent has been added.

There is regenerating salt in the tank.

The instruments have been positioned correctly.

The program selected is suitable for the type and degree of dirt on the instruments.

All the filters are clean and correctly fitted.

The spray arm water outlet holes are not clogged.

Nothing is preventing the spray arms from turning.

Make sure that the salt tank cap is firmly closed.
4. If the items in the load fail to dry or are dull, make sure that:

Absolute filter condition: operating hours can be viewed as an appliance parameter (the default operating hours
are set for normal conditions of use; the drying filter's working life will be reduced by dirtier than average
environments).

There is neutralising agent in the container.

The neutralising agent dispenser is set correctly.

The detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its characteristics (e.g. owing to incorrect storage, pack left
open, etc.).

Make sure that the salt tank cap is firmly closed.
5. If the elements processed are streaked, stained, etc. make sure that:

The amount of neutralising agent dispensed is not excessive.

Make sure that the salt tank cap is firmly closed.
6. If there are visible traces of rust in the chamber:

The chamber is made of corrosion-proof steel, so any rust marks are due to external factors (pieces of rust from
the water pipes, etc.). Specific products for removal of these stains are commercially available.

Make sure that the detergent doses are correct. Some detergents can be more corrosive than others.

Make sure that the salt tank cap is firmly closed
If the faults persist after the instructions given above have been followed, contact your nearest authorized service
center.
