2. Check the drawer is not clogged with detergent (see Cleaning and
Routine Maintenance).
● Steam is coming from the dispenser.
The machine is designed to vent through the drawer, this is nothing to
worry about.
Remember, you may be charged for the service call if incorrect installation or
misuse causes a problem with your machine.
Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check
detergent information on pack) can have the following effects:
● Waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a
white powder (zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse
performance being adversely affected.
● Presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not
absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
● The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an
indication of poor rinsing. Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve
any purpose in such cases.
Power Failure
If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, and the wash
programme and functions will be suspended. When the power is restored, the
wash programme and functions will restart from the same point and complete
the programme.
During a power failure the water can be drained and the load can be removed
from the machine as follows:
1. Switch off the machine both via the programme knob and the mains
power supply. Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
2. Carefully move the machine so the rear of the machine is accessible.
Please follow the safety precautions which we recommend under the
Safety Notes section of this manual.
3. Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the
hose into a bowl on the floor. When the bowl is full raise the end of the
drain pipe to a height higher than the top of the appliance to stop the
flow of water. Empty and replace the bowl and continue draining the
machine until empty.
4. Once the machine is fully drained of water, clip the hose to the rear of
the machine. Open the door and remove the load.
The door can be opened approximately 2 minutes after the power failure.
Do not force open the door.
