easily be solved by consulting the following list.

water.
The Washer-dryer continuously
loads and unloads water.

or spin.

much during the spin cycle.
The Washer-dryer leaks.
The DOOR LOCKED Led flashes
rapidly at the same time as at
least one other LED.
There is too much foam.
The washer-dryer does not dry.
Possible causes/Solution:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.
There has been a power failure.
The appliance door is not shut properly.
The
button has not been pressed.
The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see page 3).

The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper
floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the Washer-dryer
to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience,
special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
The programme does not foresee the draining: some
programmes require enabling the draining manually (see page 10).
The Anti-crease function is enabled: to complete the programme,
press the START/RESET button (see page 11).
The drain hose is bent (see page 3).

the wall (see page 2).
The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).
