Troubleshooting
Be sure to check these items first:
•
Is there a power outage in the area?
•
Is the household fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
•
Is the appliance properly connected to the electrical supply?
Many problems can be resolved without the need for a service call. See the following list as a reference of possible
solutions of simple problems.
