FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the lower rack on the left side).

It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
It is important to set the water hardness.
Salt must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light on the control panel is lit.

Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).
Run a program every time as soon as you completed refilling the salt reservoir to avoid corrosion.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory setting is “3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.

Water Hardness Table

Level| °dH
German degrees| °fH
French degrees| °Clark
English degrees
1 (Soft)| 0 – 6| 0 – 10| 0 – 7
2 (Medium)| 7 – 11| 11 – 20| 8 – 14
3 (Average)| 12 – 16| 21 – 29| 15 – 20
4 (Hard)| 17 – 34| 30 – 60| 21 – 42
5 (Very hard)| 35 – 50| 61 – 90| 43 – 62

To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Use of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency.
This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill the salt container when empty. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh water.

Single regeneration consumes ~3L of water;
Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.
To change, follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.
A maximum of 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.

If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).
If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place. The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

DAILY USE

ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY
Without switching off the machine, open the door first slightly to avoid water splashing out (START/Pause led starts blinking) (Caution!: Hot steam!) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door and press the START/Pause button, the cycle will resume from the point at which it was interrupted.
ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. Close the door and ONLY IF YOU PRESS the START/Pause button the cycle will resume from the point at which it was interrupted.

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans should not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

Wooden crockery and cutlery.
Delicately decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
Copper and tin crockery.
Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency, it is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on the correct loading of tableware can be found in the Loading chapter. In case of partial loading, it is recommended to use a dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash/ Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading of the dishwasher may increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE
To avoid Odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high-temperature program at least once a month. Use a teaspoon of detergent and run it without loading to clean your appliance.
RESISTANCE TO FROST
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure that the water softener is full of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt container, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to -20°C. If the appliance was stored in frost conditions the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours before the first run.

Close the door and press the START/Pause button. The timer will begin counting down.
Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the program begins automatically.
The DELAY function cannot be set once a program has been started.

WATER TAP CLOSED – Alarm – Flashes, when there is no inlet water or water tap is closed.
DESCALE – Alarm – Limescale accumulation was detected on the internal components of the appliance. Check if the Water Hardness Setting is at the correct value and salt is present in the salt container (see FIRST TIME USE), then use a descaling product (Wipro brand is recommended) with the Self-Clean program. After a successful descaling, the icon will stop being displayed.
If the actions above are not performed, product performance will deteriorate. DESCALE warning will start blinking and «dES» alarm will appear on the display. If still no action is taken, the appliance will only allow a certain number of cycles to be started (indicated during «dES» alarm display) and then will be BLOCKED to prevent component damage, with only the Self-Clean program available. Performing a full descaling will unblock the product. In the case of extremely high amounts of limescale, descaling may have to be performed twice to be efficient.
Active Dry – It is a convection drying system which automatically opens the door during/after the drying phase to ensure exceptional drying performance every day. The door opens at a temperature that is safe to your kitchen furniture.
As additional steam protection, specially designed protection foil is added together with the dishwasher.
To see how to mount protection foil please refer to the INSTALLATION GUIDE. This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in the “SETTINGS MENU”.
SENSING – When the sensor is detecting the soil level an animation appears in the display (around 20 min.) and the cycle duration is updated. SENSING is for the level of soiling on the dishes and it is present for all cycles (excepting Eco) adjusting the program accordingly.
KEYLOCK – A long press (for 3 seconds) of EXTRA DRY button, will activate the KEYLOCK function. The KEYLOCK function will block the control panel except for the ON/OFF button. To deactivate the KEYLOCK, long press again.

LOADING THE RACKS

CUTLERY RACK

The third rack was designed to house the cutlery.
Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure.
A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards. The cutlery basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space below and enable the loading of high items into the upper rack.

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.
The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.
(loading example for the upper rack)
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: a high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoiding collision with the items loaded into the lower rack.
The upper rack is equipped with an Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.

We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded.
NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.
Foldable flaps with adjustable position
The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
Depending on the model:

to unfold the flap there is needed to slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down.
to fold the flap there is needed to rotate it and slide flap down or pull it up and attach flap to the snaps.

LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm.
The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily. Hotpoint A1385707 Dishwasher - LOWER
RACK

ZONE WASH 3D
Zone Wash 3D uses additional water jets located both: in the lower and upper part of the dishwasher (marked with orange colour) to wash more intensively heavily soiled items by increasing water coverage on dishes.
Example: Load pots and casseroles facing the lower part of Zone Wash 3D components and activate the 3D Zone Wash option on the panel.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. Using the dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. Hotpoint A1385707
Dishwasher - ASSEMBLY

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
At least once per month or after every 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1). It is important when reinstalling the filter that the two triangles shown on the zoom meet.
Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully.
Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (shown by an arrow) (Fig 4). After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Daily Reference Guide
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray you must remove it together with the manifold. The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards and rotating it anti- clockwise. Mounting back the spray arm is by pulling it down and rotating it clockwise. The top spray arm may be removed by pressing it up and then rotating it anti-clockwise. Mounting back the spray arm is by pulling it upwards and rotating it clockwise.
