Trouble-Shooting Guide
Problem Possible cause
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily
without calling out a service technician. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out
the checks listed below.
During machine’s operation it is possible that the “End” light flashes:
• 1 flash = there is no water filling
• 2 flashes = the water is not drained
• 4 flashes = door open
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after
all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

• The door is not firmly closed.
• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power
at the socket.
