Solution to Problems
16
Even though your washing machine has been carefully
designed and constructed, something could still go a miss
with your machine. Before rushing to phone one of our
service centres, however, please check that the operations
listed below have been carried out. In many cases you will
save time, money and bother. Our statistics show that many
of the calls received by our service centres could have been
avoided with just a little more attention.
Check that:
the plug is pushed right into the mains socket;
the "ON/OFF" button has been pressed.
the door is closed tightly:
Check that:
the tap is open and properly connected to the inlet
pipe;
the inlet pipe is not bent.
Check that:
the drain pipe is placed at least 80 cm/32 inches
above ground level.
Check that:
the drain pipe is not blocked;
the drain pipe is not connected at a height more than
1 metre/40 inches above ground level.
Check that:
the detergent being used is meant for automatic
machines and not for washing by hand;
that the amount used is that shown in this manual
and not more.

Connect the plug to a socket provided with efficient earthing.
Or use the spare earthing wire supplied together with the
machine and the earthing terminal located on the left-upper
corner of the back of your machine (Warning: this appliance
must be earthed as a safety measure according to the law).
Make sure that the voltage and frequency available
correspond with the values stated on the data plate located at
the back of the machine and that the electric system is
dimensioned to withstand the maximum current shown on the
data plate. If the socket the machine is connected to does not
correspond with the plug, replace the plug with a suitable one
and avoid using adaptors or shunts since they could cause
overheating and burn out.The spare eathing wire is
absolutely not allowed to be connected to water
pipe,heating pipe or other kinds of pipes.

Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4 gas
threaded opening, and fit the filter and the rubber gasket
supplied with the washing machine. Check that it is tightly
screwed to the tap (Fig. 3).
If the water piping is new or has not been used for a long time,
before making the connection, let the water run until it is clear
and free from impurities.
This step is necessary to ensure that the incoming water
does not clog and possibly damage the machine.
