9.2 Emergency Door Opening

Malfunction Possible cause => Solution

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the

laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed

by reverse rotation of the drum.

This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and

normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not

evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case,

redistribute the load manually and select the spin program.

=> Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually.

Machine not installed properly. => Make sure the levelling of the

appliance is correct. Refer to “Installation”.

Transit bolts or packaging not removed. => Make sure that the

packaging and/or the transit bolts are removed. Refer to “Unpacking”.

The load may be too small. => Add more laundry in the drum.

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using

very little water without affecting performance.

Spinning starts

late or the

machine does

not spin:

The machine

makes an

unusual noise:

No water is

visible in the

drum:

Make sure that the water temperature and the laundry are not hot. Wait until they

cool down if necessary.

WARNING!

Make sure that the drum is not rotating. Wait until the drum stops rotating if

necessary.

WARNING!

Make sure that the water level inside the drum is not too high. If necessary,

perform an Emergency Drain (see page 24).

WARNING!

The appliance calculated a new time according to the laundry load.
