amount of water
●Ifyouhavepausedtheprogrammeandyourestart,the
washing machine may drain some water.
●Don’tpourwaterinthroughthedoor.
Water adds up during
washing
●Thisisnormal:waterissuppliedautomaticallyasthe
level lowers, and with heavy loads the water may fill up
repeatedly.
Water drains away
during washing
●Thisisnormal:wateroftendrainsandrefillstowashoff
excess foam. (This is called foam detection.)
Rinse/Spin
There’s no water
going into the
washing machine
during rinse operation
●Beforerinsing,thewashingmachinespinstodrainwater
remaining from the wash. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins
before the spinning
finishes
●Ifyourlaundryhascollectedtoonesideofthedrum,rinsing
will start automatically to correct the imbalance.
●Ifthere’sexcessfoamafterwashing,watermaydrainand
refill to wash it off. (This is called foam detection.)
Duringthespin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times
●Thisisnormal.Thewashingmachinehasdetectedan
unbalanced load and is trying to correct it.
A foam and water
remain in a door or
door seal
●Althoughafoamandwatermayremainwiththestateof
clothing and the amount of detergent, it does not have
influence on the performance of a rinse.
Spin starting is
repeated.
●Thisisnormal.Althoughspinstartingmayberepeated,itis
a function made to spin quietly.
Time
The displayed
remaining time

●
The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually,
and this can change the time displayed. The displayed time is
standard times, which may differ from the actual time required.
●Theremainingtimewillincreaseifanextrarinseandspin
