ISHWASHER

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.

If the dishwasher won't

start, check...

■ Is the dishwasher plugged in at the

electricity socket and switched on?

■ Is there a power failure, check other

appliances.

■ Check the fuse.

■ Is the water supply tap turned on?

■ Is the water inlet hose connected

properly?

■ Is the pressure of the water supply

sufficient?

■ Is the inlet hose kinked?

■ Is the filter on the water supply hose

blocked?

■ Is the dishwasher door not closed

properly?

If water remains inside the

dishwasher, check...

■ the drain hose is not kinked.

■ the drain syphon is not obstructed.

■ the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

If the dishes are not being

cleaned properly, check...

■ the correct amount of detergent has

been added.

■ there is regenerating salt in the salt

container.

■ the dishes have been loaded correctly.

■ the selected programme is suitable

for the type of dishes and the degree

of soiling.

■ all filters are clean and positioned

correctly.

■ the spray arm nozzles are not

obstructed.

■ there is nothing obstructing the

rotation of the spray arms.

Detergent compartment lid

can not be closed, check...

■ has the compartment been overfilled?

■ is the mechanism clogged with

remnants of detergent?

If the dishes fail to dry or

remain dirty, check...

■ there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid

container.

■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is

correct.

■ the detergent being used is of good

quality and has not lost its

effectiveness (for example, through

incorrect storage, with the box left

open).

If the dishes show signs of

streaking, staining etc.

check...

■ the rinse aid dispenser setting is not

set too high.

If there are visible traces

of rust inside the tank,

check...

■ the cap off the salt container is

securely closed and that the water

softner setting is correct.

■ the correct amount of detergent is

being used. Certain detergents can

be more corrosive than others.

■ the tank is made of steel and therefore

any rust marks are due to external

elements (fragments of rust from the

tank pipes, pots, cutlery etc.) Special

products are commercially available

to remove such marks.

...During washing

■ Unusual amount of foam is

created:

- Has the correct detergent been used.

■ Dishwasher stops suddenly

during a wash cycle:

- There has been a power cut.

- Water supply has been interrupted.

■ Knocking sound can be

heard inside the dishwasher:

- A spray arm is knocking against

dishes.

■ Rattling sound an be heard

inside the dishwasher:

- Crockery has not been stacked

properly.

■ Knocking sound can be

heard coming from the inlet

valves:

- This is caused by the way the water

pipes are laid ad it has no effect upon

the way the dishwasher functions.

Error messages

Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety

system which is able to detect operating

faults.

These faults are indicated by one or two

wash cycle indicator lights “G” flashing

rapidly.

Take a note of which lights are flashing,

turn the appliance off and call Hotpoint

Service for technical assistance (see back

page).

Tap off alarm

If you have forgotten to turn the water tap

on, the appliance will stop automatically

and wash cycle lights 2 and 3 (wash and

rinses) will flash rapidly.

Turn on the water tap and the dish-

washer will start after a few minutes.

Turn the dishwasher off at the On-Off

button, check the water supply and turn

on the water tap, wait approximately 20

seconds before turning appliance back

on, then repeat your wash cycle selec-

tions, the wash cycle will start.

Clogged filter alarm

If the dishwasher stops and wash cycle

lights 1 and 3 (pre-wash and rinses) flash

rapidly, this means the filter is clogged.

Turn the dishwasher off, follow cleaning

instruction in the ‘Care and Cleaning’ sec-

tion.

When the filter is back in position, turn

the dishwasher back on.

Repeat your wash cycle selections, the

wash cycle will start.

Troubleshooting

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 after all the checks, the appli-

ance still does not operate or the

problem persists, call Hotpoint

Service (see KEY CONTACTS,

back page) and inform them of:

- the type of problem

- the abbreviation of the model

name (Mod.) and the relative num-

bers (S/N) written on the rating

plate

located on the inner edge of the

door.

Switch off at the mains socket and

remove the plug. Turn off the

water supply.

Water load solenoid valve

If indicator light 2 ( wash) flashes rapidly,

TURN the dishwasher OFF AND BACK

ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm

persists, first turn off the water tap to

avoid any flooding and then cut off the

electricity supply and call for technical

assistance.
