Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior and rubber parts

Use a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm water soapy water.

!Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the door bowl

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in water leaking from the door.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer and compartments

!Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer while the machine is running.

Remove the dispenser by raising it then pulling it out (see figure).

It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately:

during the wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a cracked hose to split open.

!Never use hoses that have already been used.

Fuses

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse, insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of the plug.

!DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover firmly replaced.

Changing the Plug

If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other socket.

NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not match the colour of the markings which show the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown below:
