Remove a blockage from the system—If the check indicator is illuminated: Check if the cassette is full. If so refer to the guidelines overleaf about emptying the cassette If the cassette is empty but the indicator is illuminated: Do the filters need cleaning? If so refer to the guidelines overleaf Check if there is any other blockage in the system—use a rod or pole to remove any blockage from the extension tube or flexible hose. Safety Reminders: It is important that you do not: Position the cleaner above you when cleaning the stairs Use the cleaner out of doors on wet surfaces or for wet pickup Pick up matched, hot ash, cigarette ends, hard or sharp objects or anything that may damage the cleaner Spray with or pick up flammable liquids, cleaning fluids, aerosols or their vapours as this may cause a risk of fire/explosion Run over the supply cord whilst using the cleaner or remove the plug by pulling on the cord Stand on or wrap the power cord around arms or legs when using the cleaner Remove the cyclonic cassette before removing the hose from the cleaner Continue to use your cleaner if it appears to be faults. If the supply cord is damaged, stop using the cleaner IMMEDIATELY.
Detergent Dispenser Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent, adding too much detergent won’t necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment. Open the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows
Compartment 1 : Detergent for pre-wash (powder) Compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc)

General Safety! The washing machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Never touch the washing machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out itself Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation Do no touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures Never force the washing machine door. In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs. Report the problem to your Property Manager Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty Saving Energy and Respecting the Environment To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on Energy The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy Treating stains with a stain removed or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60° C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled garments are and the amount of laundry you hav. To avoid wastage and to protect the environment despite being biodegradable, detergents to contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softnener as much as possible If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you wil help reduce the electricity board’s peak load

Adding Extra Crockery
Defrosting
Press the STANDBY button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the STANDBY button again: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
No manual defrosting required— The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. Ensure that the defrost drain hole is kept clear and that stored food does not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Larder Fridge.
Accidental Interruptions Cleaning If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored. Loading the Detergent A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment. Compartment A—Washing detergent Compartment B—Pre-Wash detergent
Switch off the electrical supply and pull out the mains plug before cleaning. Remove food and wrap or cover to keep it cool Remove salad bins, racks and shelves from the fridge compartment and wash in warm water and washing up liquid using a soft cloth, dry thoroughly. Wipe interior and fitting with a clean cloth wrung out in solution of either one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water or Milton sterilising fluid. Dry interior thoroughly with a clean cloth before replacing fittings and food Use a clean soft cloth wrung out in warm water and washing up liquid to wipe the exterior surface, dry thoroughly. Use warm water and a clean soft cloth to wipe along and in between the creases of the door deal, dry thoroughly. Take care not to damage the seal and avoid using sharp objects.
FREEZER Hotpoint Controlling the Temperature of the Freezer Compartment The control wheel on the front panel adjusts the internal freezer temperature.

Should any glass panel crack or shatter and then DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE until repaired. Never: • • • • • • • •
• • • •
Stare at Halogen heating units Never leave children unsupervised during or after use as surfaces will be hot Never leave anything on the hob surface when unattended and not in use Never remove the oven shelves whilst the oven is hot Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst Never store chemicals/food stuffs or pressurised containers in or on the appliance, or in cabinets immediately above or next to the appliance. Never place flammable or plastic items on ir near the hob Never fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid. DO NOT LEAVE DEEP FAT FRYING PANS UNNATTENDED WHILE COOKING Never use the appliance as a room heater Never use the grill to warm plates Never dry any items on either the hob or oven doors Never operate the grill with the grill door closed as this will cause the appliance to overheat
FRIDGE Hotpoint Controlling the Temperature of the Fridge Compartment The control wheel on the front of the worktop adjusts the internal fridge compartment temperature. The internal temperature should be 5° C or colder although some sections, such as the salad bin, will be slightly warmer. The setting of the control wheel will depend on the location of the fridge, the room temperature and how often the door is opened. The normal set point (market by a 3

Rinse Aid and Refined Salt Temperature Conversion Chart If using a multi-functional product (2-in 1, 3-in 1, 4-in 1) it is not necessary to ad rinse aid; however, we recommend that you ad rinse salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT and LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will flash continuously. Loading the Rinse Aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks, The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: • Whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser. • When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the panel flashes Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a sponge. Screw the lid back on
Safety Guidelines • • •
• • • • • 28
Stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam of heat to disperse Always use dry good quality oven gloves when removing items from the oven/grill Always place pans centrally over the hotplate making sure handles are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot become heated by other hotplates or pans Always take care to avoid heat or steam burns when operating the controls Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning Always keep the oven/grill door closed when the appliance is not in use Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire Always turn off the electricity supply to the appliance at the wall switch
Loading the Refined Salt In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and should be filled: • 17
When the green float cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap on the salt dispenser
• •
When the LOW SALT indicator light on the panel flashes If your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float
Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anticlockwise direction) For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water Position the funnel provided correctly and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges. It is normal for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt reside from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle.
Cleaning the Dishwasher The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a cloth dampened with warm soapy water, Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Any marks on the appliance interior may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar Preventing Unpleasant Odours Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine. Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause of the formation of unpleasant odours Cleaning the Sprayer Arms Food reside may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small non metallic brush.

27
Cleaning the Filters The filters remove food residue from the water used in the wash cycle. To obtain the best results from each wash they should be cleaned. Remember to: Clean the filters regularly After cleaning check that the filter assembly has been replaced correctly The dishwasher should not be used without the filters Remove the filters by pilling the handle upwards Clean the filters After every wash cycle, remove the larges pieces of residue from semicircular plate A and glass B (these may be removed by pulling the handle) by rinsing them under running water
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: this includes the semicircular plate A, the glass B and the cylinder C (this may be removed by turning it in an anticlockwise direction.
Use a small non-metallic brush to clean these parts Reconstruct the filter assembly and replace it in the correct position, following movements 1 and 2 as shown in the figure, until it clicks.

General Safety Do not touch the appliance when barefoot When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to carry out the repair work yourself. Report any problems to your Property Manager Never touch the heating element Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance, this may cause the appliance to overturn Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls Keep detergents and rinse aid away from children Keep children away from the open door of a dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside. Saving Energy and Respecting the Environment Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle. Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load option
