Fuses  
At the time of delivery...  
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.  
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

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.

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 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...

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.
