always find an appropriate solution and will avoid unnecessary visits by engineers. Trust the expertise of
the manufacturer and rest assured that the repair will be carried out by trained service technicians using
original spare parts. The contact details of your local after-sales service can be found in the enclosed after-
sales service directory.
When contacting the after-sales service, please quote the appliance's product number (E no.) and
