All electric appliances may break-down at some time.
Remember to call a qualifi ed technician in these cases. However, many problems can be resolved without
the need for external intervention.
Important: If a fault occurs, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply immediately.
Before calling the customer service centre, check the points listed below.
If the drier doesn't start
• Check that:
1) The appliance is plugged into the mains
supply.
2) The mains socket is working correctly:
2a) The fuse has not blown. (Check by
plugging in another appliance such as a table
lamp and see if that works)
2b) All the instructions in the manual have been
followed.
If, after all these checks have been carried out, the appliance still does not work, inform the
nearest customer service centre. When contacting the service centre, inform them of the
appliance model, serial number and type of fault. This information will help the service centre
operator in procuring the necessary spare parts, thus guaranteeing a speedy and effi cient
repair.
