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 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...
