What to do if...

Certain problems are due to lack of simple
maintenance or oversights, which can be solved
easily without calling out an engineer. Before
contacting your local Service Centre, please
carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the
red pilot light of button 5 blinks to indicate that
the machine is not working.
It is possible to recognize the fault machine by
the number of button 5 light flashes. If the num-
ber of flashes is different from the ones indica-
ted below, this is related to a fault that you can
not solve. In this case, contact your local Serv-
ice Centre.
Press simultaneously the buttons 4 and 5 for a
few seconds. The red button 5 light will flash for
a short time as described (the green flash is not
to be considered) :

• open the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end
of the emergency emptying hose into the
bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain
by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full,
put the cap back on the hose. Empty the
bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously de-
scribed;
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its
seat after having plugged it;
• screw the pump cover again and close the
door.
Important! Every time you drain the water
through the emergency emptying hose you must
pour 2 litres of water into the main wash
compartment of the detergent drawer and then
run the drain programme. This will activate the
ECO Valve device avoiding that part of the
detergent remains unused at next washing.
• 4 flashes = «The washing machine does
not start», follow the corresponding sugges-
tions in «Possible cause/Solutions» box and
restart the programme.
• 1 flash = «The machine does not fill», fol-
low the corresponding suggestions in «Possi-
ble cause/Solutions» box and restart the pro-
gramme.
• 2 flashes = «The machine does not emp-
ty and/or does not spin», follow the corre-
sponding suggestions in «Possible cause/
Solutions» box and restart the programme.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press
the button 5 to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local
Service Centre.
