Cause/How to resolve...
Check
- Is the dishwasher plugged in and switched on?
- Is there a power failure, check to see if other appliances working.
- Check the fuse.
- Is there a fault with the water supply/is the water supply tap turned on?
- Is the water pressure supply sufficient?
- Is the inlet hose kinked?
- Is the door closed properly?
- The Salt symbol will flash when your dishwasher is switched on for
the first time and again when the salt levels become low - follow the
instructions on "Before Using Your Dishwasher" page on how to add
salt to your dishwasher.
Please Note:
- The salt symbol will remain lit in the display after the salt has been
added for several consecutive cycles.
- If you are using 3 in 1 tablets and do not add salt then the salt symbol
will flash periodically for several consecutive cycles.
-If 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets are used we still recommend that you add salt
to prevent limescale deposits on your dishes.
The Rinse Aid symbol will flash when your dishwasher is switched on
for the first time and again when the rinse aid levels become low –
follow the instructions on "Before Using Your Dishwasher" page on
how to add rinse aid.
Please Note:
- The rinse aid symbol will remain flashing in the display after the rinse
aid has been added, and will continue to flash until the machine has
completed the next full wash cycle (Note: The Fast & Prewash cycles
are not full wash cycles).
-If you are using 3 in 1 tablets (or 2 in 1) and do not add rinse aid then
the rinse aid symbol will flash continuously.
Check
Is the water inlet hose connection secured at rear of machine (Fig.1).
