Problem
The Î (ALARM) indicator is
flashing.
The loading door cannot be
opened when the washing
machine is switched on.
Power failure during a wash
programme. (All indicators
have gone out).
Detergent residue is accu-
mulating in the detergent
drawer.
The rinse water is cloudy.
Possible cause
The wash water cannot be drained
completely because the outlet hose is
kinked or clogged or the water outlet
is blocked.
The loading door has been barred
due to a high water level or high tem-
perature (the loading door indicator is
illuminated).
Could be due to a power cut-out by
the energy supplier.
(For reasons related to safety, the
loading door remains blocked for
approx. 4 to 10 minutes.)
The tap is not fully turned on.
The filter in the threaded inlet hose fit-
ting is clogged at the tap or at the
appliance.
The probable cause is a detergent
with a high silicate content.
Remedy
Switch off the washing machine and dis-
connect the power plug. Check the
water outlet and clean if necessary.
Wait until the loading door indicator has
gone out.
If you still need to open the loading door:
Turn the programme knob to Ï.
Turn the programme knob to D
U
(PUMP).Press the (START/PAUSE)
button.
After the water has been drained, the
door can be opened.
The programme will continue when the
power failure has ended.
If you would like to remove the washing
during the power failure:
Turn the programme knob to Ï.
Carry out an emergency emptying pro-
cedure (see section "Carrying out emer-
gency emptying").
After approx. 4 to 10 minutes the loading
door can be opened by pulling on the
handle.
Turn the tap on fully.
Turn off the tap. Unscrew the inflow hose
from the tap and the appliance and clean
the filter.
This has no negative influence on the
wash result; perhaps use a liquid deter-
gent.
