Caring for your appliance door and
drum
● Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
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:

Care and maintenance
Switching off the electricity

limit the wear of your appliances water system
and also prevent leaks.

Cleaning the door bowl

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

It is advisable to clean the
dispenser drawer regularly.
