    Appliance exterior and control panel
    
    Clean with a soft damp cloth.
    
    If necessary, a neutral household cleaner can be 
    applied (do not use aggressive or abrasive products).
    Appliance interior
    
    After each washing, leave the lid open for some 
    time 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.
    Lid seal
    
    Check the condition of the lid seal periodically 
    and clean it from time to time with a damp cloth.
    Water inlet hose(s)
    
    Check the hose regularly for brittleness and 
    cracks. Replace if necessary.
    Filter
    
    Check and clean the filter regularly, at least 3 or 
    4 times a year (see “Cleaning the Filter/ Draining 
    Residual Water”).
    Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance.
    Recovering an object that falls between the drum 
    and the tub
    If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the tub, you 
    can recover it thanks to one of the removable drum blades:
    1.
    Unplug the washing machine.
    2.
    Remove the laundry from the drum.
    3.
    Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half-turn.
    4.
    Using a screw-driver, press on the plastic end while sliding 
    the blade from left to right.
    5.
    It will fall into the drum.
    6.
    Open the drum: you can recover the object through the hole 
    in the drum.
    7.
    Refit the blade from inside the drum:
    Position the plastic tip above the hole on the right side of the 
    drum.
    8.
    Then slide the plastic blade from right to left until it clips.
    9.
    Close the drum flaps again, turn the drum through half a turn 
    and check the positioning of the blade at all its anchorage points.
    10.
    Plug the washing machine in again.

    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.
    ProblemCauses, Solutions, Tips
    Appliance does not start, 
    no indicator lamps are on
    Plug is not properly inserted in socket.
    
    Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar 
    appliance to test it).
    Appliance does not start 
    although “Start/Pause” 
    has been pressed
    Lid is not properly closed.
    
    The “Lock buttons” function   has been activated (if available on your 
    model). To unlock the buttons, push temperature and spin speed button 
    simultaneously and hold them at least for 3 seconds. The key symbol on 
    the display disappears and the programme can be started.
    Appliance stops during the 
    programme, and the 
    “Start/Pause” light flashes
    “Rinse hold” option is activated (if available on your model) and 
    (Rinse hold) lights up in the programme sequence indicator - 
    terminate “Rinse hold” by pressing “Start/Pause”
     or by choosing and 
    starting “Drain”.
    
    Programme has been changed - reselect desired programme and press 
    “Start/Pause”
    .
    
    Programme has been interrupted and eventually lid has been opened - 
    close lid and restart programme by pressing “Start/Pause”
    .
    
    The appliance’s safety system has been activated (see “Description of red 
    indications”).
    
    Water tap is not opened or water inlet hose is kinked (“Water tap closed” 
    indication lights up).
    Detergent dispenser 
    contains residues from 
    detergent/additives at end 
    of wash
    Detergent dispenser is not properly installed, or detergent dispenser is 
    blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”).
    
    Filter in the water inlet hose is blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”).
    Appliance vibrates during 
    spin cycle
    Washing machine is not level; the feet are not properly adjusted (see 
    “Installation”).
    
    The transport bracket has not been removed; before using the washing 
    machine, the transport bracket must be removed.
    Final spin results are poor
    The appliance has an imbalance detection and correction system. If 
    individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce 
    the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely in order 
    to protect the washing machine.
    
    Heavy items prevented spinning; add smaller articles of laundry and repeat 
    spin cycle.
    
    Excessive foam formation prevented spinning; select and start “Rinse & 
    Spin” programme. Avoid excessive detergent dosing (see “Detergents 
    and Additives”).
    
    “Variable spin” button (if available on your model) has been set to a low 
    spin speed, or “No spin” option (if available on your model) has been 
    activated.
    Programme time is some 
    longer/shorter than 
    initially displayed (only for 
    appliances having a 
    display which indicates 
    the remaining 
    programme time)Normal capacity of the appliance to adapt to factors that can have an effect 
    on the wash programme time, e.g.: excess of foam formation, load 
    imbalance due to heavy items of laundry, prolonged heating time resulting 
    from reduced inlet water temperature.
    Due to such influences, the programme time is recalculated and updated if 
    necessary. On certain displays (depending on the model), an 
    animation appears during such update periods.

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
    Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.
    Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
    1) Warning - this washing machine must be earthed
    This washing machine is normally supplied with a mains lead having a plug fitted in the factory which has 
    been checked for correct earth continuity. 
    If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, or if the machine’s mains lead is not fitted with a plug, 
    you should fit a suitable new, good quality plug by following the instructions in (2) below.
    Any unsuitable plug should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be 
    inserted into a socket.
    2) CONNECTION TO A REWIRABLE PLUG - to be carried out only by a qualified electrician
    The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
    BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
    BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
    GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
    To fit a new plug, proceed as follows:
    2.1 Polarized Plugs (e.g. 3 pin, 13 amp plug conforming to 
    BS 1363A)
    a.
    The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the 
    terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by 
    the Earth symbol  or coloured green and yellow.
    b.
    The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is 
    marked with the letter “N” or coloured blue.
    c.
    The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is 
    marked with the letter “L” or coloured brown.
    2.2) Non-polarized plugs (e.g. 2 pin with side earth contact)
    The wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the earth contact. The other two 
    wires should be connected to the two pins, irrespective of colour.
    FUSE REPLACEMENT
    If the mains lead of this washing machine is fitted with a BS 1363A 13 
    amp fused plug, replace the fuse only with an A.S.T.A. approved type 
    conforming to BS 1362 and proceed as follows:
    Remove the fuse cover (A) and the fuse (B).
    Fit the replacement 13 A fuse into the fuse cover.
    Refit both into the plug.
    For all other types of plug, the supply socket should be protected by 
    a 16 A fuse or circuit breaker at the distribution board.
