Trouble-Shooting Guide

Problem Possible cause

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily

without calling out a service technician. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out

the checks listed below.

During machine’s operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes will appear on the display, then

a warning signal will be heard.

• E10 = there is no water filling

• E20 = the water is not drained

• E40 = 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 Centre.

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power

at the socket.
