For your Safety
This manual forms an integral part of the appliance. It must always be kept handy for reference. Read through all the instructions contained in this
manual before using the dishwasher.
1. Seperate the various packaging materials and dispo-
se of safely - DO NOT leave discarded packaging
material around the home.
2. After removing the packaging, check to make sure your
appliance is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified
professional.
3. DO NOT use extension leads and multiple plugs. If
the electricity supply wire is not long enough, then have
it replaced with one of the correct length and remember
that it should be free of bends or dangerous kinks.
4. “If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent in order to avoid
a hazard”
5. The mains plug must be easily accessible after
installation.
6. If the appliance is not operating properly or if
maintenance operations are necessary, disconnect the
dishwasher from the mains power supply (unplug it!).
The dishwasher is designed for washing and drying dishes, any
other use shall be considered improper. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility for uses other than those described
above.
The rating plate, featuring the technical data, serial number and
markings, is visibly positioned on the inner edge of the door.
DO NOT remove the rating plate.
The dishwasher is intended for use by adults: DO
NOT allow children to come near or play with the
controls.
Keep children away from detergents and clear of the
dishwasher door when open.
Keep all packaging material away from children.
1. DO NOT use solvents, such as alcohol or turpentine
which may cause an explosion.
7. DO NOT install outdoors, not even if the area is covered
by a roof: it is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed
to rain and thunderstorms.
8. If installed on a carpeted or covered floor, ensure that
the openings on the underside are not obstructed.
9. Do not touch the heating element during or straight after
a wash cycle.
10. If the appliance malfunctions, turn off the water inlet
tap and disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Then read the section entitled "Troubleshooting". If
you cannot resolve the problem, then call Hotpoint
Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
11. Cutlery and sharp utensils should always be inserted
in random order with the blades pointing downwards
(take care with knife blades).
12. The door should not be left in the open position
since this could present a tripping hazard.
13. For your own safety, ensure the door is closed when
the dishwasher is not in use.
Installation must be performed by a qualified technician, in compliance with the regulations in force,
including the prevention and elimination of radio frequency interference.
2. DO NOT load dishes to wash that are soiled with ash,
wax or paints.
3. DO NOT lean, sit or stand on any part of the dishwasher
- this could cause injury and/or damage the appliance.
4. DO NOT drink any water residues from inside the
dishwasher.
