circuit cannot be avoided.

• The temperature is not low enough:

– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-

ture")?

– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct

reading?

– Is the ventilation system working properly?

– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply

and you cannot rectify the fault

yourself, contact the nearest

customer service department
