advice contained within it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains
important information regarding the safe installation, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
General safety
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• 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.
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:
• 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.
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance:
this may cause the appliance to overturn.
• The door should not be left open as it may create a
dangerous obstacle.
- 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 (see Start-up and use).
• 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 (see Start-up and use)
helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.
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.
GB
• 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,

Installation
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
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.
GB
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order
to prevent all potential hazards. (See After Sales Service)
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.
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.
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* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is fitted.
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. 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.
Changing the Plug
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.
4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning
a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a
clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise
direction to decrease the height.
Wires in the mains lead are coloured accordance with the
following code:
The dishwasher meets the requirements set out by the
regulations in force concerning safety and electrical equipment.
Green/Yellow - Earth
Blue

Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by
a trained and authorised technician: Repairs carried out by
unaithorised persons will invalidate the guarantee, as well as
posing a potential hazard to the user.
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:
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to
persons or property resulting from failure to observe the above
precautions, from tampering with even a single component or
from the use of non-original spare parts.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle
Ensure the drain hose is securely
attached, to prevent it coming away
while the machine is in use and
causing a flood.
GB
After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the
retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any.
Immediately before the first washing, completely fill the salt
dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt
(see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may
overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select
the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and
refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine,
the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.
Fit hose to waste securely using
a “Jubilee” type clip.
Anti-flooding protection*
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply
in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.
If the salt dispenser is not filled, the water softener and the
heating element may get damaged as a result.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety
device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti-flooding
protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the
dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has
been implemented: power on, cycle end etc.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/
display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed
light (depending on the dishwasher model).
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it
contains live electrical parts.
The display* provides useful information concerning the
type of wash cycle, wash cycle phase, remaining time,
temperature etc.
The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents
that occur if these regulations are not observed.
* Only available in selected models.

Loading the racks
Tips
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes
or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls
easily.
GB
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the
crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No
preventive rinsing is needed 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.
Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not
prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items
in the cutlery basket.
Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more
water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic
or stainless-steel dishes.
Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed
in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Cutlery basket
The modular basket can slide to optimise the space inside the
lower rack. It is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery
arrangement.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery
etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on
the upper rack
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as
glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow
a higher washing performance.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/
dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food
containers.
*Only available in selected models with different numbers and
positions.

Tip-up compartments with adjustable position
The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three
different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside
the rack.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements:
high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low
position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors
by creating more space upwards.
GB
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments
by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack
may be moved to a higher or lower position.
The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE
RACK IS EMPTY.
NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.
Cutlery tray*
Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which
can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum
washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly
below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed (see Figure).
If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift
it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press
the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.
Unsuitable crockery
•
•
Wooden crockery and cutlery.
Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft 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
Caused by:
•
•
•
Type of glass and glass production process.
Chemical composition of detergent.
Water temperature of rinse cycle.
Tips:
•
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.
Before loading the tray, make sure the supports are properly
coupled to the upper rack (see Figure).

Start-up and use
Starting the dishwasher
Measuring out the detergent
GB
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental
pollution.
1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Press the ON/OFF button: The ON/OFF indicator light and
the display light up.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent
(see below).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery
and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the
wash-cycle selection buttons.
6. Select the wash options* (see adjacent information).
7. Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: The wash
indicator light comes on and the time left to the end of the cycle
appears on the display.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can
be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either
35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets
are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent considerably.
8. At the end of the cycle, the display shows END. Switch off the
appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap
and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery in order
to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box. For further questions please ask the
detergent producers' Advice Offices.
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, use the closing
device “A” to open it.
- The machine will switch off automatically during long
periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity
consumption.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*:some dishwasher models are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economical wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the
auto wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.
Changing a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it is
possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun:
once the wash cycle has started, in order to change the wash
cycle switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/
OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and
select the desired wash cycle and options.
1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash
cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises
a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder
detergent that can be added to each cycle.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button and open the door, taking care to
avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the
dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start
again after a long beep has been emitted.
3. 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 wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing
and drying results are always achieved.
If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown
the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.
Press the Start/Pause button to pause the machine; the wash
cycle is stopped.
At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Accidental interruptions
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
If the door is opened during the wash cycle or 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.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models which
offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing and drying
cycle, powder detergent, rinse-aid liquid and salt should
be used.

- Switch on the dishwasher using the ON/OFF button, wait a
few seconds and switch it off using the ON/OFF button. Hold
down the Start/Pause button for min. 3 seconds; switch on the
machine using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment
menu - the salt indicator light is lit.
- Select the desired level (1 to 5* max. based on the dishwasher
model) using the ECO button (water softener set to medium
level).
Do not use table/industrial salt or washing-up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add
any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt,
especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or
very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging.)
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and
LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay lit.
Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should
still be filled.
Measuring out the rinse aid
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off
the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks
or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

Measuring out the refined salt
In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt 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
(see Description) and should be filled:
1. Open the dispenser “D” by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum
reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this
happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel
is illuminated *;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap (anticlockwise.)
2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge.
Rinse-aid dispenser setting
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. Switch on the dishwasher
using the ON/OFF button, wait a few seconds and switch it off
using the ON/OFF button.
Press the Start/Pause button 3 times; switch on the machine
using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment menu - the
rinse-aid indicator light is lit (set to factory level).
Select the level of rinse aid supply using the ECO cycle button
(0 to 4 max.)
Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied.
The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not illuminate if you run
out of rinse aid.
3. Position the funnel*(see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to
the edge (approximately 1 kg.) It is normal
for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt
residues away from the opening; rinse the
cap under running water and then screw
it on, the head facing downwards so as
to let the water flow out of the four slots
(star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of the cap (cap
with green float*.)
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair.)
•
If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device
to a lower number (1-2.)
•
If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set the
adjustment device to a higher number (3-4.)
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle
so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt
dispenser is removed.
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt specially designed for this type of appliance,
supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash
the crockery.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution
and optimises washing performance in accordance with the
water hardness level in your area. This information can be
* Only available in selected models.

Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Cleaning the filters
GB
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results
in every wash.
•
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
•
Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
performing maintenance work.
Clean the filters regularly.
Cleaning the dishwasher
The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the
filter is loose.
•
The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel
can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been
dampened with water. Do not use abrasive detergents or .
solvents.
• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary
clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic
brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out (fig. 1).
•
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed
using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side flaps (fig. 2);
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A. (fig. 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (fig.4).
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 behind the
formation of unpleasant odours.
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 you check the arms from time to time and
clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
To remove the upper sprayer
arm, turn the plastic locking ring
in an anti-clockwise direction.
The upper sprayer arm should be
replaced so that the side with the
greater number of holes is facing
upwards.
The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pressing on the side
tabs and pulling it upwards.
After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient
operation of the dishwasher.
Leaving the machine unused for extended
periods
•
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut
off the water tap.
Cleaning the water inlet filter*
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked
and damage the dishwasher.
•
Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is
empty.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and
clean it carefully under running water.
- Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.
