(1.3 mmol/L hardness or more), we
recommend using a water softening
agent. This reduces the detergent

NOTE
zFor information on water hardness,
contact a specialist near you.
Fabric softener
Prevents laundry static.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause and Measures

Buttons do not
work
- Settings cannot be changed while an operation is
in progress. Only the spin speed and “Extra Rinse”
settings can be changed when the wash process is
paused.
- The Child Lock (

- The temperature inside the drum may be very high.
- The water level may be too high.
To open the door immediately
(1) Switch the appliance off and then on again.
(2) Run the Spin operation (P. 24). After the water is
drained and the temperature falls, you can open the
door.
- If you switch off the appliance or there is a power cut
while the door is locked, it remains locked until the
power is turned on again.

- This is normal. Water is automatically supplied if the
water level falls.
Water drains out
during a wash
- If there is excess foam, water is drained out and fresh
water supplied to remove the foam. This is the foam
detection function.
- Even if water is directly supplied to the drum, it may
drain away without building up.

During the spin
process, the drum
stops and rotates
several times
- This is normal. When the appliance detects an
unbalanced load, it automatically tries to correct it.
- The laundry may be too light.
Try adding one or two bath towels.
Foam or water
remains on the
door or door seal
- Some foam or water may remain depending on the
state of the laundry or the amount of detergent used.
Wipe foam or water away before taking out the laundry.
Time
The displayed
remaining time
changes
- The display is only a guide and is corrected continually.
- The remaining time may increase if the rinse or spin
settings are changed or if the appliance detects an
unbalanced load and makes an adjustment accordingly.
Detergent and foam
There is not
enough/too much
foam
- The amount of foam varies depending on the
temperature, level and softness of the water.
The following can result in less foam
- Powdered detergent may have been put directly into
the drum.
It should be put into the detergent drawer. (P. 12)
- Too little detergent may have been used.
- Low foam detergent may be used.
- The laundry may be heavily soiled.
- The load may be large.
The following can result in more foam
- Too much detergent may have been used.

- The amount of softener used may have been above the
“MAX” line in the detergent drawer. (P. 12)
- The detergent drawer may have been closed too
strongly and spilt some of the softener.

unstable surface.
- Wet clothes may be loaded at the start of washing.
Perform spin process or wring out the laundry
beforehand.
There is noise
when water drains
out
- This is normal. It is the noise of the drain pump
working.
There is a fan

- This is normal. The fan cools electric parts.
Others
There is a power
cut during
operation
- Operation will resume from the point it had stopped
when the power is recovered. (Auto restart)
The circuit breaker
trips during
operation
- Figure out the cause and deal with it, then reset the
breaker.
Operation will resume from the point it had stopped
when the power is recovered. (Auto restart)
The water supply
is disrupted
- After the water supply is restored, the water may be
discoloured for a short while.
Disconnect the water supply hose, run the tap until
the water is no longer discoloured, and reconnect the
water supply hose. (P. 38)
The display is
