Fault diagnosis

4.1

Malfunctions

Faults that are plainly due to incorrect operation or inadequate maintenance may not be dealt with under the guarantee. Appropriate instructions for use and maintenance may be
found in the specified chapters of the instruction manual (IM) and brief description (BD).
Experience shows that, when recording a fault report it is important to establish not only the symptoms observed but also the circumstances in which the fault occurs.
• Is the problem present all the time, does it occur sporadically or at specific intervals?
• Were different programmes or detergents being used or tested?
• Does the problem date back to a specific event (new tableware, change of detergent, ...)?
• Does the problem affect only tableware in certain areas (only the top or bottom basket, only in the corners, ...)?
The functional test must be carried out in the customer service test programme using the "glass door".
