Possible cause
• The transit bolts and packing have not been
removed.
• The support feet have not been adjusted.
• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the
door.
• The machine is heating the water.
• The drum is turning.
The door could be opened only when «Door
openable» message appears in the display.
• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut
in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in
the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and
normal spinning can resume. If, after 5 minutes,
the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed. If at
the end of the programme the laundry is not spun
enough, redistribute the load manually and select
the spin programme.
• The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way with
low water consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.
• The machine is fitted with a commutator motor
which improves machine performance.
