What to do if...
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
Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the red light of button 8 blinks, at the
same time some acoustic signals sound and one of the following alarm codes
