Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.
During machine operation it is possible that the END light starts to flash:
4 flashes= the door has not been closed
2 flashes= the machine does not empty
1 flash= the machine does not fill.
On models with buzzer an acoustic signal will be sound.
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

• The machine does not start up:
• The door is not firmly closed.

at the socket.

and the START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.
