For your Safety

This manual forms an integral part of the appliance. It must always be kept handy for reference. Read through all the instructions contained in this manual
before using the dishwasher.

with the regulations in force, including the prevention and elimination of
radio frequency interference.

The dishwasher is designed for washing and drying dishes, any
other use shall be considered improper. The manufacturer declines
all responsibility for uses other than those described above.

1. Seperate the various
packaging materials and
dispose of safely - DO NOT
leave discarded packaging
material around the home.

2. After removing the packaging,
check to make sure your
appliance is intact. If in doubt,
contact a qualified
professional.

3. DO NOT use extension leads
and multiple plugs. If the
electricity supply wire is not
long enough, then have it
replaced with one of the correct
length and remember that it
should be free of bends or
dangerous kinks.

4. In the event of any damage to
the power cord have it
replaced by a qualified

element during or straight after

10. If the appliance malfunctions,
turn off the water inlet tap and
disconnect the plug from the
wall socket. Then read the
section entitled
"Troubleshooting". If you
cannot resolve the problem,
then call Hotpoint Service

page).

11. Cutlery and sharp utensils
should always be inserted in
random order with the blades
pointing downwards (take
care with knife blades).

the door is closed when the
dishwasher is not in use.

The rating plate, featuring the
technical data, serial number
and markings, is visibly
positioned on the inner edge of
the door.

The dishwasher is intended for use by adults. DO NOT allow children
to come near or play with the controls.

Installation

ISHWASHER

D

Choose where you want to install
your dishwasher, you can place it
so that its sides or back panel are
side by side with furniture or up
against the wall. The dishwasher is
provided with water supply and drain
hoses, which can be directed
towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.

Levelling.

Once the appliance is positioned,
adjust the feet by screwing them in
or out depending on how high you
want it and to level it so that it is
horizontal. Make sure that it is not
inclined more than 2 degrees. If the
appliance is level, it will help ensure
its correct operation.

Remember you will be charges for
a service call is a problem with your
appliance is caused by incorrect
installation or misuse.

Cold water connection.
Connect the cold water supply
hose, inserting the small filter
supplied with the dishwasher and
making sure that it is fastened tightly
in place (see figure 2). If the water
hoses are new or have been out of
use for an extended period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before
making the connection. If this
precaution is not taken, the water
inlet could get blocked, causing
damage to your dishwasher.

Fig.2

Connect to the Water Supply...

- For your dishwasher to operate
correctly it requires water pressures
in the range of 6-150 psi (100­1000KPa). Most cold water supplies
will be in this range. NOTE: low water
pressure will lead to excessively
long fill times or no fill.

- Ensure that the new hose supplied
is connected and the old hose is
disposed of safely.

- Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to
the cold water supply. DO NOT
overtighten the hose connector,
hand tight is sufficient.

- Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

- Tap connections (if applicable): A
range of adaptors are available to
suit your tap.

- DO NOT connect the dishwasher
to a single outlet instantaneous water
heater or an electric heater.

Drain hose connection.

WARNING: Connect your
dishwasher drain hose to pipes
which connect to the foul drain
system and not to surface water
drains.
IMPORTANT: For the correct
operation of your dishwasher, it is
essential to comply with the following
information:-

Standpipe:

Ensure that the hose is not pushed
too far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted
with ‘retaining flaps’, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping
out during installation and use.

DO NOT position the standpipe near
an electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not
kinked and it is routed as shown in
the diagram.

The standpipe should have a bore
of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should
be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the
same drain system as your
household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a
surface water drain.

Sink Waste System:

For under sink drainage:
Before connecting the drain hose,
remove any internal restrictions ­This will prevent a build up of debris
which could cause a blockage.
Remove any restrictions from the
waste spigot and ensure that the
sealing bung is removed. The hose
should be routed, such that it is
raised to a minimum height of
800mm (31/2”).

NOTE: Ensure the sink outlet
pipe has a minimum diamtere of
32mm.

1. Untie the end of the GREY
drainage hose from the rear of
the appliance.

2. Reposition the ‘Hooked End
Support’ as required along the
GREY drainage hose.

3. If fitting an under sink waste
disposal unit, cut out the
membrane, bung or blanking
plug.

4. Attach the GREY drainage
hose to the under sink waste
disposal unit securely, using the
clip and rubber tube supplied.

Ensure the drain hose is
securely attached, to prevent
it coming away while the
machine is in use and causing
a flood.
