Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.

! Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

! If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop (

Assembly instruction sheet

3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2 kg of salt ( overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT* indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.

); do

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.

! To avoid a shock hazard DO NOT insert the discarded plug into a socket anywhere else.

! Wires in the mains lead are coloured accordance with the following code: Green/Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

If you change the plug, the colour of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the terminal markings in the plug, which if not coloured, could be: EARTH ‘E’ or NEUTRAL ‘N’ LIVE ‘L’

Changing the Mains Lead

A lead can be ordered from Hotpoint Service UK: 08709 066 066 or Republic of Ireland: 1850 302 220

- If you have damaged the existing lead or require a longer one a charge will be made. It is strongly advised that this work is carried out by a qualified electrician.

- If the domestic wiring includes a residual currentoperated circuit breaker, ensure that it conforms to the latest regulations.

! The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is being carried out.

- This appliance should only be connected to a 230/ 240V AC source, via a properly installed earthed socket.

- Use the dishwasher solely in a domestic environment.

- DO NOT stand or place heavy objects on the door when it is open, this could damage the door or cause the appliance to tipforward.

This appliance must be earthed.

Fuses:your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to BS1362 should be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a replacement may be obtained from your local authorised Service Centre or Electrical company. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of plug.

Connecting the water supplies

! Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

! Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the old hose is disposed of safely.

! The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

Connecting the water inlet hose

The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (

see figure

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before

! Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is sufficient.

! Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

! Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available

to suit your tap.

! DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.

Standpipe

Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the standpipe. If the end of your drain hose is fitted with ‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are inserted fully into the standpipe. This will prevent the pipe from jumping out

during installation and use.

! DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical outlet.

! ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is routed as shown in the diagram. The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted and must discharge into the same drain system as your household sink.

! It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialist store or an authorised technician (

Sink Waste System

For under sink drainage:

Anti-flooding protection*

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

• before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage

• remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed

• the hose should be routed, such that it is raised to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2”).

! Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diamtere of 32mm.

• Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

- is provided with a words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose becomes a bright red colour and carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

! It is very important to check the external hose regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced by an authorised technician as soon as possible (

Rinse aid and refined salt

! Only use products that have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.

! If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1) it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add 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;

1. Open the dispenser by

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

• if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3).

• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

! If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1) and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the

dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately

with a sponge.

3. Screw the lid back on.

looking at the cap of 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: approximately every 30 wash cycles;

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the

dispenser (in an anti-clockwise direction).

2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water.

3. Position the funnel provided correctly (

the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair).

! When salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately, without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid corrosion.

Adjusting the amount of salt*

It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board).

1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.

2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (

figure

) towards the + or - symbols, using the table below as a guide. The default setting of the water softening system is +.

see figure

) and fill

see

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 (

• when the green float* cannot be seen by simply

see Description

) and should be filled:

If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1) fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.

Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.

• Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work.

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 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.

! Clean the filters regularly.

! After cleaning check that the filter assembly has

been replaced correctly.

! The dishwasher should not be used without filters.

1. Remove the filters by pulling the handle upwards.

2. Clean the filters:

• after every wash cycle, remove the

• The entire filter assembly should be cleaned

largest pieces of residue from semicircular plate A and glass B (these may be removed by pulling the handle) by rinsing them under running water.

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 anti-clockwise direction).

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue 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.

Use a small nonmetallic brush to clean

these parts.

3. Reconstruct the filter assembly and replace it in the correct position, following movements 1 and 2 as shown in the figure, until it clicks into place.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

• Run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

• Unplug the appliance and disconnect the water supply.

• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

Page 13

Precautions and advice

General safety

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery according to the instructions in this manual.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms.

• 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.

• Never touch the heating element.

• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn.

• The packaging material should not be used as a toy: it can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

If your family includes children:

• DO NOT allow children to play with the appliance or

tamper with its controls.

• Keep detergents and rinse aids away from children.

• Keep children away from the open door of a

dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

• 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 (

see Wash Cycles

• Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the

Wash cycle table

- for dishes with a normal 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 (

• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button ( helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

see Start-up and use

)

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes

• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances that may alter the balance of nature.

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage. Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket and the door cannot be locked shut.

Only available in selected models.
