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

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...
■ Isthedishwasherpluggedinat
the electricity socket and
switchedon?
■ Isthereapowerfailure, check
otherappliances.
■ Checkthefuse.
■ Is the water supply tap turned
on?
■ Isthewaterinlethoseconnected

■ Is the pressure of the water
