replace the fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to
BS1362 should be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a replacement
may be obtained from your local authorised Service Centre or
Electrical company. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding
or the marking on base of plug.
At the time of delivery...
All functions of your dishwasher have been thoroughly tested at the
factory. A small number of water marks may have been left as a
result, they will disappear when the appliance is used for the first time.

WARNING: DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is fitted.
-
This appliance should only be connected to a 230/240V AC
source, via a properly installed earthed socket.

dishwasher, use the soak cycle to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent
the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain
number of cycles.

Troubleshooting
Caution
- Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable
equipment damage, as well as danger to the user.
- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out.
Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.
Resolving minor problems yourself.
Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having
to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is available for use again
that much sooner. The following list of common occurences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of
most problems.
If the dishwasher won't
start, check...
■ Isthedishwasherpluggedinat
