Identifying Minor Faults; The Waterblock System - Hoover DDY 088T User Instructions

THE WATERBLOCK SYSTEM

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance,
particularly when the machine is left unattended.
The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a
machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.
How does waterblock work
The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage
and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water
tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box
containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket
immediately.
To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box "A" with the hose, should be
connected to the tap as shown in figure "1". The inlet hose should not be cut, as it
contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it
must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service
Agent.
This dishwasher is also equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which, if water
exceeds normal levels due to malfunctions, automatically blocks water flow and/or
drains excess quantities.
