Fuses

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:Thedishwashermustnotbeconnectedtotheelectricity

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.

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-

original spare parts.

If the domestic wiring includes a residual current-operated circuit

breaker, ensure that it conforms to the latest regulations.

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.

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, you should refill it when light “D” indicates that

it is empty.

(If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator

light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or

lights up).

Loading the detergent

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)

After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down

until it clicks.

Loading the Rinse Aid

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
