WHAT TO DO ...? The washing machine shall automatically control the operation of particular functions during the washing cycle. If any irregularity is identified, this will be indicated by reporting (Ex) on the display. The machine will signal the fault until it is turned off. If the fault is on the heating system, the machine will complete the washing program, but without heating the water. Various interferences from the environment (e.g. electric devices) may also cause the machine to signal faults.
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE Failure Possible cause What to do...? The machine does not work – the display is not lit. • Machine is not powered. Check if: • power in the socket, • the fuse is OK, • plug is in the socket. Water is leaking from the • Filter is not tightly screwed machine. in. • Inlet pipe is not tightly screwed to the machine or to the water faucet. • Outlet pipe fell to the floor. • Tighten the filter properly. • Tighten the inlet pipe. • Affix the outlet pipe to the drain.
Failure Possible cause What to do...? Washing time is longer than usual. Time indicated on the display is corrected during the washing cycle. • Low temperature of inlet water. • The machine switched on the UKS* system because of uneven laundry load. • Low mains voltage. • There has been a failure in the power supply. • Washing program time may be up to 60% longer; however, this does not imply a fault in the machine.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE Wash new coloured garments separately the first time. Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more detergent or a prewash cycle. Treat stubborn stains with a special stain removal agent before the wash. We recommend using the "Grandma's advice for natural stain removal". With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a program without prewash, use of shorter programs (e.g. Time Care) and a lower washing temperature.
Hardness scale Degree of hardness °dH (°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m. 1 - soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150 2 - medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250 3 - hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250 In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see manufacturer’s instructions). Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser left gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment (depending on model).
GRANDMA'S ADVICE FOR NATURAL STAIN REMOVAL Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the environment on less stubborn stains.
