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...

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
