trouble shooting
If a fault occurs, check this troubleshooting table before taking your unit for repair.
If the fault persists, attempt to solve it by switching the unit off and on again.
If this fails to resolve the situation, consult your dealer. Under no circumstances should you repair the unit yourself as this will invalidate the guarantee!
