Malfunctions and troubleshooting

In the event of a malfunction...
DANGER! Danger of physical injury and
death! Improperly conducted repairs may

Such repairs will endanger you and your
surroundings.
Malfunctions are often caused by minor faults. You
can easily remedy most of these yourself. Please
consult the following table before contacting the
vendor. You will save yourself a lot of trouble and
possibly money too.
Remedy
Check cables, plug, socket and fuse.
Eliminate the cause of the overheating (max.
temperature of liquid ► Technical data –
p. 19).
Activate RCCB.
Contact qualified electrician if RCCB triggers
again.

material gets into the environment.

correspondingly marked plastics that can
be recycled.
