•A puddle of water forms around the machine
Warning:

lever to the right.
•The washing is not spun or not spun enough

•Incidents indicated that require a breakdown engineer
Your machine also detects some operating faults that systematically
require the services of a breakdown engineer.
In this case, these are the three cycle progress
lights that flash simultaneously.
NB:
Before calling for your breakdown engineer, we would recommend that
you do the following:
- Set the Programme selector to the "Off" position and remove the
electrical plug for at least 10 seconds
- Reconnect the plug and restart a washing cycle.
If the fault displayed persists, call your breakdown engineer and
remember to tell him which indicator lights were lit.
Important :
Do not restart a washing cycle if the drum remains locked or if
you notice water around your machine of if you notice a burning smell.
• AFTER-SALES SERVICE :
Possible maintenance on your washing machine should be undertaken by :
— either your dealer,
— or another qualified mechanic who is an authorized agent for the brand
appliances.
When making an appointment, state the complete reference of your equipment
(model, type and serial number). This information appears on the manufacturer's
nameplate attached to the rear of the equipment.
