Resumen del manual
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance. Opening the porthole door manually In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows: 1. remove the plug from the electrical socket. 2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure. 3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure). 4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time. 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance. GB 11 Care and maintenance GB Cutting off the water and electricity supplies • Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the Washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks. • Unplug the Washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work. Cleaning the Washer-dryer The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. Caring for the door and drum of your appliance • Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Checking the water inlet hose Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. ! Never use second-hand hoses. 12 Troubleshooting ■ Hotpoint Your Washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see "Assistance'"), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. Problem: The Washer-dryer does not switch on. The wash cycle does not start. The Washer-dryer does not take in water (the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly). The Washer-dryer continuously takes in and drains water. The Washer-dryer does not drain or spin. The Washer-dryer vibrates a lot during the spin cycle. The Washer-dryer leaks. The START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) and the function indicator lights flash rapidly. There is too much foam. Possible causes / Solutions: • The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact. • There is no power in the house. • The Washer-dryer door is not closed properly. • The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. • The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. • The water tap has not been opened. • A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see "Personalisation'7). • The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. • The hose is bent. • The water tap has not been opened. • There is no water supply in the house. • The pressure is too low. • The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. • The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see "Installation"). • The free end of the hose is under water (see "Installation"). • The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe. If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the Washer-dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience. • The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually. • The ANTI CREASE function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button ("Personalisation"). • The drain hose is bent (see "Installation"). • The drainage duct is clogged. • The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see "Installation"). • The Washer-dryer is not level (see "Installation"). • The Washer-dryer is trapped between cabinets and walls (see "Installation"). • The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see "Installation"). • The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see "Care and maintenance"). • The drain hose is not ...
