Control Panel

Child Protection

Operation of the washer may be protected against accidental changes of programs or functions. The function is activated by pressing the START/PAUSE button (F). Temporary disengagement of the function (during the operation):

Keep the MENU knob (B) pressed for 4 seconds, relevant symbol flashes on the display.
Stop the program by pressing the START/PAUSE knob (F).

In case you fail press any knob within 15 seconds, the protection is automatically reactivated.

Cleaning The Water Intake Filters

The machine is fitted with a filter which protects the water intake valves. The filter is in the fitting on the intake hose which is connected to the tap The filter must be cleaned if the washing machine is not taking in water or the amount of water is insufficient.

To clean, proceed as follows:

Remove the mains plug to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the intake hose fitting from the tap.
Unscrew the intake hose fitting from the tap.
Clean the filter with water, with the aid of a small brush.
When screwing the intake hose fitting back into place, check that the filter is positioned correctly.

Troubleshooting

For safety reasons, any technical inspections or repairs must be performed by qualified staff, to prevent all hazards for the user. If the appliance does not work, before calling the After-Sales Service, to avoid unnecessary expense, check yourself that the operations listed in this troubleshooting table have been carried out.

Trouble	Possible Cause-Remedy
The machine does not work (display is not illuminated).	Machine is not powered. Check if: plug is in the socket, there is power in the socket, the fuse is OK.
Water does not enter the machine.	Filter is not tightly screwed in. Inlet pipe is not tightly screwed to the machine or to the water faucet. Outlet pipe fell to the floor. Tighten the filter properly. Tighten the inlet pipe. Affix the outlet pipe to the drain.
The machine moves during operation.	The machine is not properly leveled. Transport brackets are not removed. Level the machine with the adjustable legs. Remove transport brackets.
The machine vibrates during the spin.	Unevenly distributed laundry, especially with very small quantities (for ex. only the bathrobe). This is normal, the machine will reduce the RPM if vibrations are too strong. Wash larger quantity of laundry.
Excessive foaming during washing.	Excessive measure of detergent. Use washing powder according to the instructions by the producer and according to the water hardness and soiled laundry. Use only detergents for machine washing.
Laundry is not properly spun. No failure is reported.	The machine switched on the UKS* function. Because of bad laundry balance, the machine has automatically reduced spin RPM. The machine operates normally. Wash large and small pieces of laundry together.
Greasy wads appear on the laundry.	Too little detergent (laundry was very greasy). Wash the laundry again. Add more detergent for such soiled laundry, or use liquid detergent.
Laundry is stained after washing.	You used liquid detergent or detergent for colored laundry which does not contain whitener. You selected inappropriate program. Use the detergent containing whitener. Select the heavily soiled laundry program, or activate soaking function.
White powdery residues on the laundry.	It is not the consequence of bad rinsing, but because of neo-phosphate detergents containing non soluble components (zeolites) for water softening. Such substances may be deposited upon the laundry. Inappropriately selected program. Immediately rinse the laundry once again. Use liquid detergents which do not contain zeolites. Try removing the residues with the brush. Use program for heavily soiled laundry, or activate soaking function.
Detergent residues in the dispenser.	Low water flow pressure. Some detergents may stick to the dispenser rather hard if it is wet. Clean the inlet pipe screen. Wipe the dispenser prior loading detergent.
Softener is not completely rinsed, or water is left in the dispenser dish.	Sucking cover is not correctly positioned or is clogged. Clean the dispenser and firmly fix the cover to its place.
Washing time is longer than usual.	The machine switched on the UKS* system because of uneven laundry load. Power failure occurred. Clean water sensor is engaged. Washing program time may be prolonged for 10 minutes and the machine still functions perfectly. Time is prolonged for the power failure period. Time is prolonged for extra rinses.
