What to do if...

If a fault occurs, before contacting the After-sales Service, make the following checks to try and remedy
the problem. Most faults can be remedied by taking the following courses of action, quickly restoring
normal appliance operation.

... shows "F1" on the
display or the START

... shows "F4" on the
display or the START

button (depending on model).
• Close the door.
• Water drains automatically for up to 60 seconds.
