Caution
- Do not forget that repairs should 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 corrosive 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.
Error messages
Your dishwasher is equipped with a
safety system which is able to de-
tect operating faults.
These faults flash up on the display
by several codes consisting of let-
ters and numbers.
Take a note of the codes, turn the
appliance off and call Hotpoint Serv-
ice for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If the H2O code is flashing on the
display with a long series of pro-
longed beeps, it means you have
forgotten to turn the water tap on.
Turn knob “A” to OFF, turn on the
water tap and wait approximately 20
seconds before turning the appli-
ance back on. The wash cycle will
start up again after a few minutes.
If you are not there when the H
2O
code appears, the appliance will
switch to alarm mode and the code
A06 will flash on the display.
Turn knob “A” to OFF, turn on the
water tap, wait approximately 20
seconds before turning appliance
back on. Re-select the wash cycle
and the appliance will start up
again.
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.
If after all the checks, the appliance
still does not operate or the problem
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 numbers (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.
