Resumen del manual
Sometimes, small items (such as coins and buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same. ! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber: 1. remove the cover panel (in the lower front of the washing machine), prizing it on both sides with a screwdriver. Do not force it. 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance. Checking the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used. 2. unscrew the lid rotating it in anticlockwise. A little water may trickle out (about 1 liter). Put a little container under the hole. 3. clean the interior thoroughly. 4. screw the lid back on. 12 Troubleshooting ■ Hotpoint Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see pages 17-18), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list. Problem The washing machine won't start. The wash cycle won't start. The washing machine fails to load water (The wording H2O is displayed). The washing machine continuously loads and unloads water. The washing machine does not drain or spin. The washing machine vibrates too much during the spin cycle. The washing machine leaks. The machine is locked and the display flashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..). There is too much foam. 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 word DOOR is displayed). The [oj button has not been pressed. The START/CANCEL button has not been pressed. The water tap is not turned on. A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Start, see page 9). The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent. The water tap is not turned on. There is a water shortage. The water pressure is insufficient. The START/CANCEL button has not been pressed. The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (seepage 3). The free end of the hose is underwater (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 washing machine 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 8). The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/CANCEL button (see page 9). The drain hose is bent (see page 3). The drain duct is clogged. When the machine is installed, the locking screws for the oscillating assembly are still in place. Remove the screws (see page 2). The washing machine is not level (see page 2). The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see page 2). The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2). The detergent dispenser is obstructed. The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3). This means there is a problem with the machine. Before calling Assistance, please follow the set of instructions below: 1. Switch off the machine; 2. Remove the plug connecting the appliance to the mains supply and wait for at least 40 seconds.; 3. Place the plug back into the socket; 4. Switch on the machine; 5. If the problem is still evident after this process has been carried out, contact Assistance. The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like). You used too much detergent. □ ID In O T 3 o 3 "D T 0 (D 1 0) 3 3 CD Cn D CD t CD T (D CD 3 "D 1 CD O Q) C 3 o 3 w (/) CD 3 o CD 13 14 15 16 H Hotpoint Guarantee 12 Months Parts and Labour Guarantee Your appliance has the benefit of our manufacturer's guarantee, which covers the cost of £ breakdown repairs for twelve months from the date of purchase. =f This gives you the reassurance that if, within that time, your appliance is proven to be defective because of either workmanship or materials, we will, at our discretion, either repair or replace the appliance at no cost to you.
