Cause and remedy
The display has switched off automatically to save
energy (Standby mode).
 Press a button. Standby comes to an end.
The machine feet are not level.
 Level the washer-dryer and secure the feet.
This is not a fault. These slurping noises occur at
the end of the pump sequence as a normal part of
operation.
This is not a fault. The machine will spin, even dur-
ing a drying programme (thermospin).
The machine detected an imbalance during the final
spin cycle and reduced the spin speed automatically.
 Include both large and small items in the load as
this will give better distribution during spinning.
The water flow pressure is too low.
 Clean the filters in the water inlet.
 Select Water plus.
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.
 Clean the detergent drawer and, in the future, add
washing powder in the compartment first, and
then add the water softener.
