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.

Filling the salt container.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower basket, fill it
up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower basket
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. If it is the first time you add the
salt, firstfillthecontainerupwith
water (you won't have to do this
againnexttime)
When should I load the salt?
The salt container should be filled
up when the low salt indicator light
"S"flashes. Onceyouhaveloaded
the salt for the first time, it is normal
thatthelowsaltindicatorlightstays
on or flashes for about 5consecu-
tive cycles.
3. Putthedishwasherfunnelonthe

two kilos of salt. It is normal that
some water comes out of the

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...
■ Isthedishwasherpluggedinat
the electricity socket and

■ Isthereapowerfailure, check

■ Checkthefuse.
■ Is the water supply tap turned

■ Isthewaterinlethoseconnected

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.
