If a fault occurs, before contacting the After-sales Service, make the following checks to try and remedy the
problem. Most faults can be remedied by taking the following courses of action, quickly restoring normal
appliance operation.
The appliance...
...is not working/will not start
... shows "F1" on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes once
... shows "F4" on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes 4 times
... shows "F6" on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes 6 times
... shows "F7" on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes 7 times
... shows "F8" on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes 8 times
... shows other "F" faults on the display or
the START indicator lamp flashes Xx times

If you select the "Half load/Multizone" function (if available),
remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to
increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
