ENGLISH
Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.
During machine operation it is possible that the End light starts to flash, an acoustic signal will be sound and
the alarm codes appear on the display:
EE4400
= the door has not been closed
EE2200
= the machine does not empty
EE1100
= the machine does not fill.
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.
