Operating instructions What to do when… 3 The somewhat different, in comparison to older washing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to the modern drive system. A rattling sound on startup – in particular when using for the first time – is caused by the circulation pump and is due to the design. Trouble Shooting In the case of a malfunction try to solve the problem with the aid of the notes given here.
Operating instructions Malfunction Possible Cause The height adjustable threaded feet are not correctly adjusted. Washing machine vibrates during operation or is unstable. Remedy Adjust threaded feet as per the installation instructions. There is only very little washing in the drum (e.g. only a Function is not impaired. towelling dressing gown). Water cannot be completely pumped out because the drain hose is kinked or the circulation pump is blocked.
Operating instructions Malfunction Washing is not spun properly, water is still visible in the drum. Possible Cause Remedy Drain hose is kinked. Remove kink. Maximum pumping height (drain height 1m above the floor on which the machine is standing) exceeded. Please contact customer service who have a retrofit kit for pumping to heights of greater than 1m. Circulation pump is blocked. Switch off the machine and unplug from the mains, clean the circulation pump.
Operating instructions If the washing results are not satisfactory If the washing is grey and there are calcium deposits in the drum • Too little detergent was used. • The wrong detergent was used. • Special soiling was not pre-treated. • Program or temperature not set correctly. • When using component detergents, the individual components were not used in the correct proportions.
Operating instructions Performing an Emergency Drain • If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water then an emergency drain must be performed. • If the washing machine is installed in a room subject to frost, an emergency drain must be performed if there is a danger of frost. In addition: unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap and lay on the floor.
Operating instructions When the water is completely drained: 6. Press the rotating toggle firmly into the emergency drain hose. 7. Push in the rotating toggle with the emergency drain hose and tighten by turning a quarter of a turn in a clockwise direction. The ECO valve does not function when the machine has been fully emptied. Therefore add approx. 1liter of water before the next wash (pour in through the detergent drawer).
Operating instructions 6. Check whether it is possible to turn the pump impeller. (Jerky pump movement is normal.) If it is not possible to turn the impeller, contact customer service. 7. Replace cover (insert stud on the cover into the guide slot) and tighten in a clockwise direction. 8. Press the rotating toggle firmly into the emergency drain hose. 9. Push in the rotating toggle together with the emergency drain hose and tighten by turning a quarter of a turn to the left. 10. Replace the outer cover.
Operating instructions Additional Rinse/Water Cooling The washing machine is set up for extremely low water consumption. • For people who suffer from an allergy to detergents, it can be useful to rinse with more water (additional rinse). • It may be necessary to cool the water before it is pumped out in order to prevent damage to plastic waste pipes (water cooling). You can activate these functions using the More Water Switch.
