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.
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.
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 corro-
sive 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.
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.
Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with
a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies.
These anomalies or faults are
signalled by several codes
consisting of letters and numbers
that flash up on the display. Make a
note of the error code that appears,
turn the appliance off, turn off the
water tap and call for technical
assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn on the
water tap, your appliance will remind
you with a long series of prolonged
beeps
and the wording H2O will
flash up on the display. Turn the
tap on and the wash cycle will start
up after a few minutes.
If you are not there when this signal
appears, the appliance will switch
to alarm mode and the code “AL06”
will flash on the display.
Turn the display off by keeping
the Stand-by button
pressed,
check that there is water in the
mains supply and turn on the tap;
turn the display back on by keep-
ing the same button pressed again.
Repeat the programming operations
and start the dishwasher by
pressing the START button.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and the
code “AL05” is flashing, this means
the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the display off
by keeping the Stand-by button
pressed
clean the filter thoroughly and
reposition it in its seat as illustrated
on page 14. Then turn it back on.
Repeat the programming operations
and start the dishwasher by
pressing the START button
.
Water leak alarm
If this indicator light is flashing,
this means the appliance is blocked
due to a water leak. Turn off the
water tap, cut off the electricity
supply and call for technical
assistance.
You have checked
everything, but the
dishwasher still doesn't
work and the problem
persists?
Call an authorised service centre
near you and remember to mention:
• the type of malfunction
• the model mark (Mod….) and the
serial number (S/N….) indicated on
the rating plate located on the inner
door, to one side.
