Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily
without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out
the checks listed below.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by
incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following messages appears in the display and at the same
time an acoustic signal will sound:
• Problem with the water supply: "No incoming water. Check tap & hose"
• Problem with water draining:
• Door open:
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 Force Centre.
