Something not working?

Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.
During machine operation it is possible that the End light starts to flash:
4 flashes= the door has not been closed
2 flashes= the machine does not empty
1 flash= the machine does not fill.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
