Appliance exterior and control panel Appliance interior • Wash down with a soft damp cloth. • After each washing, leave the door open for sometime to allow the inside of the appliance to dry. • If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. GB 4 GB 5 Door seal • Dry the door seal after each washing with an absorbent cotton cloth; make sure that the door seal is completely dry before closing the door of the empty washing machine. • Check the condition of the door seal periodically. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year (see “Draining Residual Water/ Cleaning The Filter”). Do not use detergents containing solvents, scouring powder, glass or general purpose cleaners, and flammable fluids. They may harm the plastic surfaces or other parts. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Your washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and allow you to react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. Problem Appliance does not start, no indicators are on Appliance does not start although “Start(Pause)” has been pressed Causes - Solutions - Tips • Plug is not properly inserted in socket. • Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it). • The “Child lock/Lock buttons” feature has been activated (if available on your model). To unlock the buttons, push the two buttons marked with the key symbol simultaneously and hold them at least for 3 seconds. The key symbol on the display disappears and the programme can be started. • “Rinse hold” is activated. Press “Start(Pause)” to spin the laundry. For draining the water without spinning, select “Drain” programme (if available) or press the “Reset/Drain” button for at least 3 seconds. • Programme has been changed - reselect desired programme and press “Start/Pause”. • Programme has been interrupted and eventually door has been opened - close door and restart programme by pressing “Start(Pause)”. • The appliance’s safety system has been activated (see “Failure indicators” in your programme chart). • Water tap is not opened or water inlet hose is kinked or blocked (“Water tap closed” indicator blinks). • Water entering is not enough; the mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked (see “Care And Maintenance”).
