The cause, however, will not always
be found in the unit itself. External
factors and the fact that it takes time

To save unnecessary calls on your
dealer or our Service Organization,
we have compiled a list of possible
faults and their causes. To even
mention some of these causes, such
as those to do with power
connection, may seem excessive.
Our experience shows, however, that
they are easily overlooked as
sources of trouble. If, by using this
list, you do not succeed in solving
the problem, stop your investigation.
