washing is and the hardness of the water (see the instructions on the
detergent's packaging).

- Check the water pressure
- Reconnect the water supply hose.
- Close the door
- Check the water intake is not bent or blocked
- Check that the end of the drain hose is higher than the level of the
water in the appliance (the hose should be at a height of 0.6m-1m)

the bottom of the appliance.

as the type of detergent used in the drum

remain in the pump and outlet lead Constant operation of the outlet
pump causes air to be sucked in leading to the characteristic noise,
which does not mean that anything is wrong.
- The water in the appliance is being automatically refilled
- Pause caused by removal of excess foam
- too big a load — reduce the load in accordance with the table
- wait for about 15 minutes and resume drying
