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: The dishwasher must not be connected to the
electricity supply while installation is being carried out.
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.
Use the dishwasher solely in a domestic environment.
DO NOT stand or place heavy objects on the door when it is
open, this could damage the door or cause the appliance to tip
forward.

by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or
property resulting from failure to observe the above precautions, from
tampering with even a single component or from the use of non-

3. Putthedishwasherfunnelonthe

4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
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.

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
the electricity socket and
switchedon?
■ Isthereapowerfailure, check
otherappliances.
■ Checkthefuse.
■ Is the water supply tap turned
on?
■ Isthewaterinlethoseconnected

■ Is the pressure of the water

If the dishes fail to dry or
remain dirty, check...
■ thereisrinseaidinsidetherinse

■ therinseaiddispensersettingis

Loading the detergent
Loading the Rinse Aid
The cleaning detergent should be introduced into the two
containers “Comp.2”and “Comp.3”(see table at the end
of the page).
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down
until it clicks.
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be
regulated by turning the dose adjuster ‘F’ which you will find
under lid ‘C’.There are 6 different settings; the normal
dosage is setting 5.
