Troubleshooting
You can rectify minor faults yourself with
the help of the following overview.
If in doubt, please consult the authorized
customer service.
Risk of electric shock
Always switch off the appliance and pull out
the mains plug before care and mainte-
nance work.
Warning

Check whether the voltage indicated on
the type plate corresponds to the volt-
age of the socket.
Check the power cable for damage.
Pressure does not build up in the
appliance
Check the setting at the spray lance.
Appliance ventilation:
Switch on the appliance without con-
nection the HP hose and run it until the
water discharging from the HP outlet is
free of bubbles. Switch off appliance
and reconnect HP hose.
Clean the fine filter in the water supply
connection: this can be easily removed
using flat-nose pliers.
Check all supply lines to the HP pump
for leaks or blockages.
Strong pressure fluctuations
Clean the high-pressure nozzle: Re-
move dirt and debris from the nozzle
bore with a needle and rinse through

HP pump leaking
Slight leakage from the HP pump is nor-
mal. If the leakage increases contact
the authorized customer service.

spray lance.
Clean the filter of the detergent suction
hose.
Check the DT suction hose for kinks.
