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.

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

■ Isthereapowerfailure, check

■ Checkthefuse.
■ Is the water supply tap turned

■ Isthewaterinlethoseconnected

Detergent
The Rinse Aid
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers
must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the
start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the ‘Programme Chart’. The detergent
dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.
This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves
their drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the
inside of the door; it should be filled up when the rinse
aid indicator light “T” flashes.
Loading the Rinse Aid
Loading the Detergent
To open the dispenser turn cap C in the anticlockwise
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.
To open lid ‘A’ press button ‘B’. The cleaning detergent
should be introduced into the three containers ‘1’, ‘2’ and
‘3’ (See table at the end of the page).
