User manual HOTPOINT-ARISTON HB1113180

[. . . ] To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance). [. . . ] At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle. The OPTIONS may only be set, modified or reset after the wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/Pause button has been pressed. Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compatible with the selected was cycle (see Table of wash cycles), the corresponding LED flashes rapidly 3 times. If an option is selected which is incompatible with another option or wash cycle selected previously, the incompatible option light will flash 3 times and switches off, while the most recently selected setting remains lit. To deselect an option which has been set by mistake, press the corresponding button again. 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 once the electricity supply is restored. If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent. Select the wash cycle and press the HALF LOAD button: the indicator light will illuminate. remember to halve the amount of detergent. Position the funnel* (see figure) and fill the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue 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 cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*) It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container. 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). 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. If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3). If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). 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 the organisation which supplies your household with water. [. . . ] Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer. Check whether the problem can be resolved using the Troubleshooting guide (see Troubleshooting). [. . . ]
