Troubleshooting table
Malfunctions can occur in all electrical appliances. This does not necessarily mean
there is a defect in the appliance. For this reason, check the tables to see if you can
correct the malfunction.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock in case of improper repair!
■
Never try to repair a defective or suspected defective appliance yourself. This could
endanger yourself and subsequent users. Only authorised specialists may carry out
repairs.
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
