In the event of a fault

Never attempt to repair the dishwasher yourself.

Repairs carried our by unauthorised or inexperienced

persons can cause injury or other machine faults.

• If water leaks from the machine • Turn off the water supply tap or stopcock immediately

and isolate the machine from the electrical supply by

removing the plug from the wall socket.

• Check that all seals, seams and connections are

watertight.

There is always a certain risk of leakages in any machine connected to a water supply, no matter what water safety

features it may have. Therefore it is advisable always to turn off the water supply tap when the machine is not in use.

Check the following before calling a repairman:

• Dishwasher fails to start

• Is the door properly closed?

• Have you set the programme control knob properly?

• Is the water tap turned on?

• Is the dishwasher plugged in?

• Has the fuse blown?

• Water not discharged at end of cycle • Did you open the door before the light went out and the

cycle ended?

• Are the filters clogged?

• Is the discharge hose blocked?

• Dishes not washed satisfactorily • Has anything prevented the spray arm from rotating?

• Were the dishes packed too close together?

• Did you use enough detergent?

• Are the filters clogged?

• Is the rinse aid dispenser empty?

• Check that the spray arm holes are not clogged.

• Are the filters fitted correctly in place?

• Is the salt container cap properly closed?

• Dishes dull or streaky • Limescale from hard water has probably formed in the

machine and is being deposited on the dishes. Buy a

limescale remover and follow the instructions on the

package to descale the dishwasher.
