Resolving Minor Problems Yourself

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems 

that occur during normal daily usage yourself, without having 

to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs 

but it also means that the dishwasher is available to use. The 

following list of common occurrences and their remedies 

should help you identify the causes of most problems.

•

CAUTION!
