The washer-dryer

does not drain or spin.

Does the selected

programme foresee water

draining? Some wash cycles

require enabling the draining

manually.
Is the Rinse hold" function

-where provided - enabled?

This function require enabling

the draining manually.
Is the drain pump clogged?

To check it, close the tap,

unplug the washer-dryer and

follow the instructions on page

13, or call for technical

assistance.

Is the drain hose bent? The

tract of the drain hose must be

as straight as possible. Make

sure it is not squashed or bent.
Is the washer-dryers drain

duct clogged? Is there an

extension of the drain hose? If

so, is it positioned incorrectly,

blocking the water flow?

The washer-dryer

vibrates too much

during the spin cycle.

Has the internal floating

unit been correctly

unblocked during

installation?

See the

following page on installation

procedures.
Has the washer-dryer been

levelled correctly? The

levelling of the appliance

should be checked

periodically. In time, the

machine could move

imperceptibly. Adjust the feet

and check them with a level.

Is the appliance closed in

between furniture and a

wall? If it is not a built-in

model, the washer-dryer needs

to oscillate a bit during the

spin cycle. A few cm of space

should therefore be left around

it.

The washer-dryer

leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet

hose properly attached?

Close the tap, unplug the

appliance and try tightening its

attachment without forcing it.
Is the detergent dispenser

obstructed? Try extracting it

and washing it under tap

water.
Is the drain hose well

attached? Close the tap,

unplug the appliance and try

tightening its attachment.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate

for machine washing? Check

whether its label reads the

definition for machine wash

or hand and machine wash,

or other similar indications.
Is the correct amount being

used? An excessive amount of

detergent, besides producing

too much foam, does not

guarantee a more effective

wash, and causes scaling in the

internal parts of the appliance.

The washer-dryer

does not dry.

Check whether:

the plug has been correctly

inserted into the socket; there

is electricity in your home; the

appliance door has been shut

properly; a delayed start (if

available) has not been selected;

programme knob A has been set

to position (Stop/Reset); the

drying cycle knob C has been

set to position 0.

The washer-dryer

doesn't dry properly.

Check whether:

the end of the drain hose is

underwater; the drain pump is

obstructed; the advice given on

the maximum loads has been

taken; the water tap has been

turned on.

If, despite all checks, the washer-

dryer fails to function and the

problem persists, call your

nearest authorised Customer

Service Centre, providing the

following information:

- the type of malfunctioning

- the model type no. (Mod. ....)

- the serial number (S/N ....)

These indications can be found

on the data plate situated on the

back of the washer-dryer.
