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.
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,
plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance.

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

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*
If the salt dispenser is not filled, the water softener and the
heating element may get damaged as a result.
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.
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.
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).
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
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

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 rack.
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.
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as
glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery
etc. Large plates and lids should be placed at the sides of the
rack.
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.
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.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments
by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
*Only available in selected models with different numbers and
positions.

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 dispensers/
sectors by creating more space upwards.
Third rack
GB
The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the
cutlery as shown in the figure.
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.
“Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be
positioned with the blades facing downwards.”
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.
The upper rack cannot be used in the high position and
with the tip-up compartments closed in a vertical position.
A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier
after washing and improves washing and drying performance.
The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small
items as coffee cups in the area in the middle.
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.
The third basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make
the most of the height of the space below.
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.
* Only available in selected models.

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. Open the door and press ON-OFF button.
3. Measure out the detergent. (see adjacent information).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks).
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery
and its soil level (see table of wash cycles) by pressing the P
button.
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.
6. Select the wash options*. (see Special wash cycles and
options).
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door.
8. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the
flashing of the wash cycle number on the display. Open the door,
switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut
off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity
socket.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers'
Advice Offices.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order
to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.
- The machine will switch off automatically during
certain extended periods of inactivity, in order to
minimise electricity consumption.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*:some models of dishwashers are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically setting the most efficient
and economic 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.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the
amount of detergent used accordingly.
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.
Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process,
it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just
begun: open the door taking care to avoid the escaping steam,
by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button, the machine will
switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button
and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start
the cycle by closing the door.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
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.
Adding extra crockery
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.
Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care
to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the
dishwasher. Shut the door and the cycle will begin from the point
at which it was interrupted.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
Accidental interruptions
DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.
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.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
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, liquid rinse aid and salt should
be used.

It should be used between two different wash cycles and ONLY
after soiled crockery has been loaded.
If an option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle
(see table of wash cycles), the corresponding LED/Symbol
flashes rapidly 3 times and beeps will sound.
To start the ACTIVE OXYGEN option press and hold the button
O3. The option will stay active either for 24 hours or until the
wash cycle is started. More items can be introduced at any
time until full load.
Delayed start
The start of the wash cycle may be delayed for a period
of time between 1 and 12 hours.
The typical faint odour that can be smelt inside the dishwasher -
the same as you sometimes get with storms - is due to the ozone
produced by lightning discharges. This is normal. The device
produces just a small quantity, which soon decays.
1. Press the DELAYED START button: the corresponding symbol
appears on the display; each time you press the button, the time
(1h, 2h, etc. up to max. 12h) from the start of the selected wash
cycle will be increased.
2. Select the cycle and close the door: the timer will begin
counting down;
No replacement needed.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off
and the wash cycle begins.
To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of time,
press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the button
repeatedly until the selected delayed start indicator light/symbol
switches off. The wash cycle will start automatically as soon as
the door is shut.
Zone Wash
This option makes it possible to carry out the wash
cycle in the selected rack only. Select the wash cycle and then
press the ZONE WASH button: the selected rack lights up and
the wash cycle starts in the selected rack only. Press the button
again to deselect the option.
The option is available with the following wash cycles: Intensive
and Normal.
Multi-functional tablets
This option optimises washing and drying results.
When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL TABLETS button, the indicator light/symbol will
illuminate. The “Multi-functional tablets” option results in the
lengthening of the wash cycle.
Select the option and the Intensive cycle to start the
ULTRAINTENSIVE ZONE washing. This wash cycle is ideal
for very soiled mixed loads, e.g. pans and saucepans, dishes
with heavy encrustation or difficult-to-clean crockery (grater,
vegetable mill, dirty cutlery). The spraying pressure is stronger
and the washing temperature higher, thus ensuring optimum
handling of stubborn stains.
The use of tablets is only recommended when the
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option is available.
This option is not recommended for use with wash
cycles which do not specify the use of multi-functional
tablets.
Select the option and the Normal cycle to start the SAVING
ZONE washing. This function makes it possible to reduce energy
consumption. Cycle duration might change.
Remember to load the crockery in the selected rack only
* Only available in selected models.

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs

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.
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 tub.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see Description) and should be filled:
• When the green float*cannot be seen by simply looking at the
cap of the salt dispenser;
• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel
is illuminated *;
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
1. Remove the lower rack and
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Switch on and off the
dishwasher using the ON/OFF button. Press the P button three
times. Press the ON/OFF button, the set level appears on the
display (set to factory level).
unscrew the cap (anticlockwise).
2. The first time you do this: fill the
water tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel* (see figure)
and fill the salt dispenser up to the
Adjust the rinse aid supply level with the P button.
Press the ON/OFF button to save the adjustment setting.
The rinse aid level can be set to ZERO, in such a case the rinse
aid will not be supplied and the low rinse aid indicator light in
case of running out.
A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher
model.
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set to a low number (1-2).
• In case of drops of water or limescale marks, set to a high
number number (3-4).
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) on 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).
Setting the water hardness
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.
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially 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
obtained from your local water supplier.
* 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.
* Only available in selected models.
