Problems which you can resolve yourself.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:
-
E10

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.
Problem
Possible cause
• The machine does not start up:

at the socket.
• The main fuse has blown.
• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly.
