properly?

4. The appliance does not work
• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?
• Has the fuse blown?
• Is the power cable broken?
• Is button 1 pressed? (if available)
5. The inside light does not work
First check point 4 then:

• Remove the light shield. Check the bulb.
Do not unscrew the bulb but pull it out
towards the inside of the appliance and replace
it if necessary. It must not exceed 15 W.
6. The door gasket is warm
• It is not a problem: it prevents condensation.

Check that the plug fuse is well fitted. A 13 A
fuse must be used.
Check removable plugs for loose connections
and tighten them if necessary.
Loose connections can overheat the plug.
