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 dispose 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.

In the event of any damage to the power cord have it replaced by a
qualified technician.

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!).

Installation must be performed by a qualified technician, in compliance with the regulations in force, including the prevention and elimination of
radio frequency interference.

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.

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.

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. For your own safety ensure the door is closed when the dishwasher

is in use.
