resume their ordinary readings.
2) Alarm E1: water in the tub.
Ifwaterinthe tub isdetectedbeforethe start
of a cycle, all functions are disabled. The
alarmwilldisappearassoonaswaterreaches
below the safety level. This alarm does not
involve buzzer actuation and is called off
only when the machine is switched off and
then on again, or else, 5 minutes into the
alarm,thisisautomaticallyremovedandthe
door is unlocked. Of course, if when the
machine is switched back on alarm causes
are still there, the display will highlight this
condition.
The sources of this fault are either the drain
(make sure that the solenoid valve is clean
and in good working order) or the built-in
level pressure switch.
3) Alarm E2: Water level alarm
Thewaterlevelrequiredbythecyclestepin
progresshasnotbeenreachedaftertakingin
water for 3 minutes. This alarm signal will
automatically disappear as soon as the tub
receives the required amount of water. This
alarm has no effect on the cycle, which is
resumedautomaticallyassoonasthecorrect
water level is reached. If the correct level
failstobereachedafterwaterhasbeentaken
in for 5 more minutes, the cycle is stopped
and the buzzer is activated. The alarm is

the alarm buzzer, this is automatically
stoppedandthedoorisunlocked.Ofcourse,
if, when the machine is switched back on,
alarm causes are still there, the display will
highlight this condition.
Possible causes: poor water pressure in the
mains,aclogged filterintheintake solenoid
valve, failure of the water-level detection
system (the pipe connected the pressure
switchontheelectroniccard),aclosedsupply
tap, failure of the drain electrical valve or a
leak in the same; in this case the machine
takeswaterinproperlybutissimultaneously
drained, so that the programmed level takes
long to be reached or is never reached
altogether.
4) Alarm E3: Drain alarm.
Water has failed to drain below the safety
level after one minute. The cycle will be
resumed after water has reached below the
safety level, with no effect on cycle
completion. The buzzer is not actuated. As
for the causes, see alarm E1.
5) Alarm E4: Heating alarm
Aftertheheatinghasworkedfor20minutes,
thetemperaturehasnotrisenbyatleast5°C,
and yet the cycle proceeds normally. This
alarm will automatically disappear as soon
as the temperature reaches the established
value. The buzzer is not actuated. Possible
causes:anincorrectconnectionoftheheating
elements, scale and/or lint on the heating
elements, which reduce their performance.
It is advisable to also check that the warm
water inlet has been connected properly: if
the cold and warm water inlets have been
inverted, and the drum is consequently fed
cold water only, heating times will be
abnormally increased.
The heating elements are equipped with a
fuse that opens the circuit in case of
malfunction (e.g. heaters switched on with
drum empty).
CAUTION!
When the fuse has tripped (each heater has
one)theheatingelementcannotbereusedor
repaired and will have to be replaced.
Thetrippingofthis safety device may cause

the selected cycle or temperature.
6) Alarm E5: Overtemperature alarm -
disconnected temperature probe
Watertemperaturehasexceeded95°Corthe
temperature probe is either broken or
disconnected.Thewashcycleisabortedand
the buzzer is activated. This alarm can only
be called off by switching the machine of
and then on again or else, 5 minutes into the
alarm,thisisautomaticallyremovedandthe
door is unlocked. Of course, if when the
machine is switched back on alarm causes
are still there, the display will highlight this
condition.
7) Alarm E7: Door alarm
ifdoordamageis detectedduringoperation,
whatever the cause, then this alarm takes
over, the cycle is immediately aborted and
the tub is drained. The alarm is called off
only when the machine is switched off and
thenonagain.Ofcourse,if,whenthemachine
is switched back on, alarm causes are still
there,thedisplaywillhighlightthiscondition.
8) Alarm E8: Level alarm
a water level 10 cm above the established
height is detected: the cycle is aborted and
thebuzzerisactuated.Toremovethisalarm,
just switch the machine off and then on
again. Of course, if, when the machine is
switched back on, alarm causes are still
there,thedisplaywillhighlightthiscondition.
Alarm causes: the sensor that measures the
water level in the tub or an take-in electrical
valve blocked open.
CAUTION! this fault can also be caused by
the use of foamy soap.
9) Alarm E9: Out-of-balance (tilt) alarm
When this alarm takes over, the step in
progress is stopped but the cycle is not
aborted. The motor is disenergised for 200
or 90 seconds on high-speed spin and low-
speed spin respectively. After so pausing, a

Alarms occurring during intermediate spin
arenotdisplayed:afterdistribution,thecycle
overrides the spinning step and proceeds.
Conversely, alarms intervening during final
spinblinkE9:afterdistribution,themachine
makes further spinning attempts. The
machine makes up to a maximum of 15
attempts and if it still fails to spin, the alarm
sign E9 is lit continuously, the buzzer is
actuated and the cycle is aborted. The alarm
is called off only when the machine is
switchedoffandthenonagain.Ofcourse,if,

this condition.
Alarm causes may be an incorrect laundry
load (too little or too big), unlevel machine
positioning or dampers worn out through
repeated incorrect loads.
10) Alarm E0: Motor overload cutout
In case of motor fault of any kind:
overloading, overheating, misconnection,
etc., the motor goes to idle and the message
E0 blinks on the display. The motor goes to
idle and waits for 150sec. After this safety
time the machine performs a distribution
step and then makes a new attempt. If after
five attempts the alarm is triggered again,
the cycle will be aborted, the display will
flash the alarm and the buzzer will be heard
for 5 minutes on end. After that the system
will be reset automatically.
11) No cycle is enabled “CYCLE”alarm
On switching on the machine the displays
read “CYCLE”. Enable at least one wash
program using the “Ci”function described
in section 7.3 Configuration of settings.
VOLTAGE DROP
If a voltage drop longer than 3 sec. occurs
during a wash cycle, on being re-energised
all the luminous devices the machine is
fittedwith(washstepLEDS,time,cycleand
temperature displays) are reset: they flash
for one minute with all functions disabled.
As soon as normal work conditions are
restored the cycle will automatically be
resumed from the beginning of the step that
was underway when the voltage drop
occurred and displays will resume their
normal functions. Conversely, if the door is
open when the machine is re-energised, the
cycle will be aborted
ATTENTION If the ON - OFF switch is
actuated to turn machine off after the
cycle has been started, the machine will
behave as if a voltage drop has occurred.
CAUTION: WHEN ONE OR MORE
ALARMS APPEAR ON DISPLAY
DURING MACHINE OPERATION,
REMOVE MISFUNCTION SOURCES
BEFORE STARTING A NEW CYCLE (IF
POSSIBLE). AND CONTACT THE
AUTHORISEDAFTER-SALESSERVICE
OR DEALER IN ORDER TO AVOID
FURTHER DAMAGE.
