We recommend loading the washingmachine to its full capacity. Thismeans savings on water and energy.Whenever possible, we recommendthat you wash garments of differentsizes within the same washprogramme. This improves thewashing action and also aids thecorrect distribution of the garmentsin the drum when spin-drying, andthe washing machine will thereforebe quieter.It is a good idea to put small garmentsin a wash bag.

DETERGENT ANDADDITIVES

77

a Your washing machine’s detergentdispenser has three compartments.

b Put the detergent or additive into thedetergent dispenser before starting thewash programme.

c Liquid detergents may also be used inthis washing machine. An optionaldetergent dispenser is to be used forthis, which can be obtained from theTechnical Service Network.

Place this optional dispenser inside thewash compartment.

The level of liquid must never behigher than the MAX mark printed onthe dispenser wall.

Remember that the amount of detergent tobe used will always depend on:

The amount of clothes to be washed. How heavily the clothes are soiled. The hardness of the water (Information on

water hardness in your area can be obtainedfrom the competent local authorities).

We recommend the use of adecalcifying product if the waterhardness is high in your area.

2 USING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

Remember that concentrated detergentsexist which are more environment- andnature-friendly.

The use of more detergent thannecessary will not improve youwashing results, and apart from costing

you money it will have a negative effecton the preservation of the

environment.

We therefore recommend you followthe detergent manufacturer’sinstructions.

ant warnings

Level the washing machine by adjusting thefeet to reduce the noise caused by spin-drying.

Try and wash clothes of different sizes inthe same wash programme to favour thedistribution of the clothes inside the drumduring spin-drying.

All the models have a safety system forspin-drying that prevents spin-drying frombeing carried out if the distribution of theclothes inside the drum is too concentrated.This prevents the appliance from vibrating toomuch.If you find that the clothes are not properlywrung out, try spin-drying them again afterhaving distributed the clothes more evenly inthe drum.

washing machinesafety and troubleshooting

88

If you detect any problems withyour washing machine, you willprobably be able to rectify themyourself by consulting the followinginstructions.

If this is not the case, unplug theappliance and contact theTECHNICAL ASSISTANCESERVICE.

PROBLEMS

Never open up theappliance. There is no fuseor similar component insidethat can be replaced by theuser.

Why won’t the washingmachine start?

Why is the washing machinevibrating or making toomuch noise?

This may be due to the following:

Check the door is properly shut.

The washing machine is not plugged into the mains orthere is no voltage in the mains supply.

The Start/Pause button has not been pressed.

If the washing machine door is not properly shut, F04will appear on the display or the wash and end pilotlights will flash.

This may be due to the following:

The blocking and transport screws have not beenremoved.

The washing machine has not been correctly levelled.

Why doesn’t the washingmachine take in water?

Why doesn’t the washingmachine drain or spin-dry?

Why doesn’t the washingmachine spin-dry?

Why can’t I see any water inthe drum during the wash?

Indicator F01, no water coming in, this may be due toa cut in the water supply, a tap turned off or a blockedwater inlet filter.

The possible solutions are as follows: wait for the watersupply to be reconnected, turn on the tap, or removethe water inlet hose and clean the filter.If this failure is detected, F01 will appear on the displayor the wash and rinse pilot lights will flash alternately.

The reasons for the F02 indicator may be the following:washing machine drain pump blocked, building drainagepipes blocked, or incorrect pump electrical connection.

Solution: if the pump is blocked, gain access to it asdescribed in section 2, maintaining and cleaning theappliance.If this failure is detected, F02 will appear on the displayor the rinse and end pilot lights will flash alternately.

This may be due to an uneven distribution of clothesin the drum and may cause an excessive level ofvibrations.

The solution is to select a spin-drying programme.If this failure is detected, C3 will appear on the displayor the wash, rinse and end pilot lights will flash alternatelywhile all the other control panel pilot lights will remainoff.

This is due to the fact that the washing machine is providedwith a system which is able to adapt to the load and typeof fabrics, adjusting the levels of water and energy used,in order to preserve the environment.So, although the water level you can see through the hatchmay look low, there is no cause for concern as washingand rinsing efficiency will still be optimum.

90

safety and troubleshooting

Why is there still some waterin the dispenser?

Why can’t I open the hatchimmediately after the washhas finished?

Why doesn’t the remainingtime shown on the clockcoincide with the real timeleft until the selected cyclefinishes?

Other anomalies

This may be because the dispenser needs cleaning. Thissimple operation is described in Maintaining and cleaningthe appliance. 1- Cleaning the detergent dispenser.

Washing machines today are provided with safety systemsfor users. One of them is that the washing machine cannotbe opened until it is certain that the drum is quite still. Thisis why the hatch cannot be opened for 2 minutes.

This time is for guidance purposes only and may be affectedby the conditions under which the selected programme isbeing run, e.g. initial water temperature, size of load orunbalance caused by the garments during spin drying.

The washing machine can detect other indications.When this happens a number of other indicators appearon the display: F05, F06, ..., F10 or the wash, rinseand end pilot lights will flash, together with one of theother control panel pilot lights.If this happens, call the Official Technical Service.
