Some programmes do take a long time. See the 'Example
Programme Times in the "The Machine at Work" section.
Other things which can extend programme times include:
Low water pressure
Low temperature of the incoming hot water
Your appliance will make some noise, especially during spin
cycles Small loads of heavy or bulky items (towels etc) can
occasionally cause out of balance conditions, but the machine
will usually sort itself out. If the noise is excessive you should
check the following:
e Has the transit bracket been removed? (see 'Installation
Instructions' in this book).
e Have you removed loose items (coins etc) from the pockets
(these can rattle about inside the appliance drum).
e Have you adjusted the feet to make the appliance level and
steady? See 'levelling' in the section "Essential Information".
e /s the drawer clogged with detergent? (clean the dispenser)
e Has the flap at the back of the drawer been fitted correctly?
(see 'Cleaning' in the section "Caring for your Appliance")
During hot washes the machine is designed to vent the steam
from the dispenser drawer.
e Have you used the correct amount of detergent suitable for
automatic washing machines'? (If you use the wrong type
you will need to flush this from your appliance by selecting
rinse programmes).
lf your machine is full of water, with your clothes inside, you
can open the door by following these instructions. You will
need a bucket. First you will have to empty some of the water
so that the safety latch will release the door.
WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL, THE WATER IN THE DRUM
MAY BE VERY HOT. If you believe that the water is very hot,
allow time for cooling down (at least an hour).
If you have difficulty with access to the drain hose, it
is advisable NOT to carry out this procedure.
1. Turn off the hot and cold taps, switch off the
electricity at the socket and remove the plug.
O
Do not use the machine until the Service Engineer
has called.
2. Pull out your machine so that you are able to get to the back
of it.
3. Place the end of the drain hose into the bucket to drain off
the water. Drain off about two buckets of water.
4. When sufficient water has been removed, you should be
able to open the door.
