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.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the wa-
ter tap on, your appliance will re-
mind you of this by sounding a few
short beeps for a few minutes. Turn
the tap on and your appliance will
start up again after a few minutes.
Were you to be absent when these
beeps are sounded, the appliance
will be blocked automatically and
wash cycle 5 and 6 indicator lights
(rapid and crystal) will flash
rapidly.
Turn the appliance off at the ON-
OFF button, turn on the water tap
and wait approximately 20 seconds
before turning the appliance back
on.
Re-select the wash cycle and the
appliance will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and wash
cycle4 and 6 indicator lights (auto
eco and crystal) flash rapidly, this
means the filter is clogged by large
particles of food residue. Turn the
appliance off, clean the filter
thoroughly and reposition it in its
seat as illustrated on page12. Then
turn the appliance back on.
Re-select a wash cycle as indi-
cated in the "Selecting the wash
cycle" paragraph and the appliance
will start.
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 operating faults.
You will know if there are any faults
if codes start flashing on the dis-
play. Take a note of the codes, turn
the appliance off and call Hotpoint
Service for technical assistance.
If after all the checks, the appliance
still does not operate or the prob-
lem persists, call Hotpoint Service
(see KEY CONTACTS, back
page) and inform them of:
- the type of problem
- the abbreviation of the model
name (Mod.) and the relative num-
bers (S/N) written on the rating plate
located on the inner edge of
the door.
Switch off at the mains
socket and remove the plug.
Turn off the water supply.
Water load solenoid valve
malfunction alarm.
If indicator light 5 (rapid wash)
flashes rapidly, TURN the
dishwasher OFF AND BACK
ON AGAIN after one minute. If
the alarm persists, first turn off the
water tap to avoid any flooding and
then cut off the electricity supply
and call for technical assistance.
