Filter Appliance interior • 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. • Leave the door and the detergent dispenser open for some time after each washing so that the interior can dry. • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year (see “Cleaning The Filter”). Water supply hose • Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type (available from After-Sales Service or specialist dealer). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance. Detergent dispenser Clean the dispenser drawer and the dispenser compartment regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent detergent build-up. 1. Press the release lever in the prewash compartment down and pull out the dispenser (see downward arrow). 2. Remove the inserts from the detergent dispenser (see upward arrows). 4.

Clean the mesh filter in the washing machine. 7. Screw the supply hose back on to the machine. 8. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are water-tight. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and react appropriately. Often, however, the faults detected are small enough to be solved in a matter of minutes. For example: The appliance vibrates during the spin cycle. Check whether: • The appliance is levelled and solidly installed on all four feet (see “Installation”). • The transit bolts have been removed. Before using the washing machine you must remove the transit bolts (see “Installation”). The appliance will not start; no lamp lights up. Check whether: • The appliance is plugged in. • The wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar to test). • The washing machine is switched on. Final spin results are poor: The appliance has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy articles are loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc. ) this system may reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after several spin starts. • If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, add other articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. • Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. [. . . ] Screw the plywood sheet to the floor. Connect the water supply hose(s) (A or B, depending on the model) • If your washing machine has one inlet hose and one inlet valve on the back: connect to cold water supply only. • If your washing machine has two inlet hoses and two inlet valves on the back: connect to cold and hot water supply, or to cold water supply only by using the Y-piece connector. Both inlet valves must be connected to the water supply. Observe the detailed instructions in your programme chart. [. . . ]
