Safety Information
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to
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.
Changing the Plug
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.

Before Using your Dishwasher
To prevent rust
from forming, load
the salt just before
beginning a wash
cycle.
Water hardness varies according
to where you live. If the water in
your home is hard, without water
softening, incrustations would
form on your dishes. Your
dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener which uses special salt to
get rid of limescale in the water.

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 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...
■ Is the dishwasher plugged in at the
electricitysocketandswitchedon?
■ Isthereapowerfailure, checkother
appliances.

Recycling & Disposal Information
As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use quality
recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance.
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket and
the door cannot be locked shut.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
