Error Messages
The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system that is able to
detect operating problems and malfunctions. These malfunctions
are signalled by the rapid blinking of one of the "M" program LEDs.
Only in the case where the indicator light for the soak cycle (see
table for cycles) blinks rapidly should you cancel the cycle as
described in the section entitled, "Changing a Cycle while Under-
way." Then check to make sure that there is water in the mains
and that the tap is turned on. If the message continues, call for
technical assistance, indicating which message appeared.
If any of the other indicator lights begins to blink rapidly, turn off
the appliance and call for technical assistance, indicating which
light began to blink.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser-
vice centre and provide them with the following information:
- the nature of the problem;
- the model type number (Mod...) And the
serial number (S/N...), which are indicated on the plate located
on the side of the inner part of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
If in doubt regarding the electrical connection of this appliance,
consult a qualified electrician. Do not shorten the supply cable, the
