A programme without afinal spin. It is used to prevent creasingwhen washing special fabrics.dAnti-crease optionThe wash programme stops on the lastrinse, with the clothes left in water.When the function is deactivated, thewashing machine continues theprogramme, draining and spin-drying.It is used, for example, when you are notat home and want to delay the spindryinguntil you get home, to prevent theclothes creasing after spin-drying andbeing left in the drum to be removed.aOPENINGTHE HATCHaDepending on the model, you can open thehatch by pressing the hatch opening button.bIf you cannot open the hatch due to abreakdown or a power cut, proceed as follows:remove the dispenser by pulling the handleoutwards and pressing the blue lever with yourfinger. A button with a slot will appear on theright. Turn the button to the left with the aid ofa coin and the hatch will open.bIf your model of Washing machine does nothave remote opening you have to await about2 minutes from the end of the programmebefore being able to open the hatch.82

7 WASH PROGRAMME PHASES AND POWER CUTSusing the appliancePROGRAMMEPHASESWhen the programme is running you can seewhich phase it is at on the display, as well ashow long there is to the end of the programme.The active phases will appear successively atthe top of the display as the programmeprogresses. The time remaining until the end ofthe programme will also appear on the display.It updates at regular intervals, but not minute byminute.Any option button can be selected provided thewash phase in which it takes effect has not beenpassed and when the programme accepts theoption.Pressing the delay button during the wash hasno effect on the washing machine.Pressing the start/pause button during the washactivates the PAUSE function.ImportantIf you change the wash programme duringthe wash using the selector, the PAUSEfunction is activated and the programme iscancelled.If you need to add or remove a garment,press the start/pause button and make surethat the water level is not above the dooroverflow level and that the temperatureinside is not high. Press the start/pausebutton again to restart the wash from thesame cycle phase it had stopped at.POWER CUTSPOWER CUTSIf there is a power cut, when the electricitycomes back on the washing machine willcontinue to run from where it left off (it hasseveral hours of memory). The same will happenif the ON/OFF button is pressed.warningsLevel the washing machine by adjusting thefeet to reduce the noise caused by spin-drying.Try and wash clothes of different sizes in thesame wash programme to favour the distributionof the clothes inside the drum during spin-drying.All the models have a safety system for spin-dryingthat prevents spin-drying from being carried out if thedistribution of the clothes inside the drum is tooconcentrated. This prevents the appliance fromvibrating too much.If you find that the clothes are not properly wrung out,try spin-drying them again after having distributed theclothes more evenly in the drum.85

washing machinemaintenance and cleaningMAINTENANCEAfter each wash, leave the door openfor a while to allow the air to circulatefreely inside the machine.From time to time, depending on thehardness of your water, it isrecommendable to run a full wash cycleusing a decalcifying product.This will extend the life of your washingmachine.ImportantThe washing machine should bedisconnected from the mains electricitysupply before any cleaning ormaintenance is carried out.1 CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSERClean the detergent dispenser wheneverthere is any washing product residue leftinside.aabPull outwards on the handle andpress the blue lever with your fingerto remove the detergent dispensercompletely.Use warm water and a brush toclean the compartments.Also clean the additivecompartment siphon.

washing machinesafety and troubleshootingIf you detect any problems withyour washing machine, you willprobably be able to rectify themyourself by consulting the followinginstructions.If this is not the case, unplug theappliance and contact theTECHNICAL ASSISTANCESERVICE.ImportantNever open up theappliance. There is no fuseor similar component insidethat can be replaced by theuser.IndicatorFO1FO2CO3FO4FO5 . .F10ProblemsNo water coming inDoes not drain or spin-dryDoes not spin-dryDoes not startCall the Technical Assistance ServicePROBLEMSWhy won’t the washingmachine start?This may be due to the following:The washing machine is not plugged into the mains orthere is no voltage in the mains supply.The Start/Pause button has not been pressed.When the washing machine door is not properly closed,F04 appears on the display.Check that the door has been closed properly.Why is the washing machinevibrating or making toomuch noise?This may be due to the following:The blocking and transport screws have not beenremoved.The washing machine has not been correctly levelled.During spin-drying the motor makes a “whistling” noisewhich is normal due to the mechanical action of themotor itself.88

safety and troubleshootingWhy doesn’t the washingmachine take in water?When there is no water coming in F01 will appear onthe display.Indicator F01, no water coming in, this may be due toa cut in the water supply, a tap turned off or a blockedwater inlet filter.The possible solutions are as follows: wait for the watersupply to be reconnected, turn on the tap, or removethe water inlet hose and clean the filter.Why doesn’t the washingmachine drain or spin dry?When F02 appears on the display.The reasons for the F02 indicator may be the following:washing machine drain pump blocked, building drainagepipes blocked, or incorrect pump electrical connection.Solution: if the pump is blocked, gain access to it asdescribed in section 2, maintaining and cleaning theappliance.Why doesn’t the machinespin-dry?When it does not spin-dry, C03 appears on the display.This may be due to an uneven distribution of clothesin the drum and may cause an excessive level ofvibrations.The solution is to select a spin-drying programme.Why can’t I see any water inthe drum during the wash?This is due to the fact that the washing machine is providedwith a system which is able to adapt to the load and typeof fabrics, adjusting the levels of water and energy used,in order to preserve the environment.So, although the water level you can see through the hatchmay look low, there is no cause for concern as washingand rinsing efficiency will still be optimum.89

safety and troubleshootingWhy is there still some waterin the dispenser?This may be because the dispenser needs cleaning. Thissimple operation is described in Maintaining and cleaningthe appliance.1. Cleaning the detergent dispenser.Why can’t I open the hatchimmediately after the washhas finished?Washing machines today are provided with safety systemsfor users. One of them is that the washing machine cannotbe opened until it is certain that the drum is quite still. Thisis why the hatch cannot be opened for 2 minutes.Other indicationsThe washing machine can detect other indications.When this happens a number of other indicators appearon the display: F05, F06..., F10.This information may be due to very different reasons.Check if the problem is repeated and in this case callthe AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.90
