Something Not Working
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out
an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following messages appear on the display and at the same time
an acoustic signal will sound:
• Problem with the water supply:
“No incoming water. Check tap & hose”
• Problem with water draining:
“No drain. Check drain hose /filter”
• Door open:
“Door not closed. Please check”
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.
