132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 36 Something not working? If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines. Troubleshooting If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 37 Something not working? Problem Possible cause Solution The water tap is closed (E10). Open the water tap. The water inlet hose is squashed or kinked (E10). The machine does not fill The machine fills then empties immediately Check the whole length of the hose and remove the kink. The small filter of the water Clean the filter. inlet hose is clogged (E10). The door is not properly closed (E40). Close the door. The end of the drain hose is too low.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 38 Something not working? Problem The machine vibrates or is noisy The door will not open Possible cause Solution The transit bolts have not been removed. Check that the machine has been unpacked as described in the Installation section. The feet have not been adjusted. Carefully level the machine. There is little laundry in the drum. Correct operation of the machine is not affected. The programme is still running and the drum is turning.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 39 Something not working? Problem Possible cause Solution The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning has cut in. If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 40 Unsatisfactory washing results If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum • Too little detergent has been used. • An unsuitable detergent has been used. • Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. • The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry • Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. Positioning Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 46 Installation Water inlet Connect the water inlet hose to a separate tap with a 3/4" thread. The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage A caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the P0352 water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.
132971850 gb.qxd 29/05/2007 9.16 Pagina 47 Installation The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 200 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz (depending on the model) supply.
