8. OPERATING PROBLEMS

Many checks have been carried out during the manufacture of your washing machine. However, if you face a problem with
its operation, please read the following sections before calling the After Sales Service: 

If you have an operating problem, refer to the " Operating
problems " section.  If any work is necessary after you have
made all your checks, please contact your washing machine
dealer.

When you call the After Sales Service, mention the model
and product number of your washing machine, and its serial
number.  This information is given on the inside of the filter
door and on the name plate at the back of the washing ma-
chine.

If any work is done on your washing machine, insist that your
After Sales Service uses manufacturer certified spare parts.
