TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

These failures are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. The appliance will not start, no lamp lights up. Check whether: � the mains plug is inserted into the socket � the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar to test) the washing machine will not start... (varies according to model)... and the �Start/Pause� light flashes. Check whether: � the appliance door is properly closed (child safety); � The �Start/Pause� button has been pressed In the case of washing machine with LCD this notice appears: � The �On/Off� button has been pressed and the light is on � The washing machine safety system has been activated (see �Failure Indicators� table) Detergent and additive product residues in dispenser at end of wash.
