Unpleasant odour in the appli-
ance
Run the Baumwolle (Cottons) 90 °C programme without any laundry.
Add all-purpose washing powder or a detergent that contains a bleach-
ing agent.
Note: To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recom-
mended by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents intended
for woollens or delicates.
The duration of the pro-
gramme changes during the
wash cycle
Not a fault – the programme sequence is optimised for the specific wash-
ing process. This may change the programme duration.
The programme is taking
longer than usual
Not a fault
■ The unbalanced load detection system is eliminating an imbalance
by repeatedly redistributing the laundry
■ Foam detection system switches on a rinse cycle if foam formation is
too high

Water is not visible in the drum Not a fault – the water is below the visible area.

started
The internal motor test may cause the drum to jerk or judder briefly when
the wash programme starts.
Loud noises, vibrations or
machine “wandering” during
the spin cycle
Make sure that:
■ The appliance is correctly aligned ~ Page 17
■ The appliance feet are fixed~ Page 17
■ The transit bolts have been removed ~ Page 13
Water is leaking from the
machine.
■ Make sure that the drain hose is properly secured and is not dam-
aged.
■ Check the threaded joint on the supply hose, and tighten it if neces-
sary.
If you cannot rectify a fault yourself (after switching the appliance off and then on again) or a repair is re-
quired:
■ Switch off the appliance and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
■ Turn off the tap and call the after-sales service.
