Hotpoint DWF60 Dishwasher User Manual


 
Before using your Dishwasher you must carry
out the following steps to ensure you obtain
the best possible wash performance from
your appliance.
Follow these 4 steps:
- Adjust the Water Softener.
- Fill the Salt Container.
- Fill the Rinse Aid Container.
- Add detergent.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily,the dishwasher requires
soft water i.e containing little or no
lime,otherwise water stains are left
behind on crockery and glasses etc. If
the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness,it must be softened, ie.
decalcified,so that it can be used in
the dishwasher.
The water Softener should be properly
adjusted to optimise salt consumption
and for best washing results.
In order to ensure that the correct
amount of salt is being used to
regenerate the water softener, the
water hardness adjuster needs to be
set accordingly.To set this correctly
the hardness of your water needs to
be ascertained. Find on the table the
level corresponding to the hardness
of your water and the required
adjustments or contact your local
Water company to find the exact water
hardness level for your area.
Press and hold the ECONOMY 50˚
programme button 9 , and set the
mains switch 1 to on,before releasing
the programme button again.
The indicator lamp for the ECONOMY
50˚ button flashes,as does the figure
in the numerical display 3 . The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in
the factory.
To change the setting:
Press the ECONOMY 50˚ programme
button 9 .
Every time the button is pressed, the
figure increases by one. After reaching
, the display starts at again.
Set the mains switch 1 to OFF. The
new setting is stored in the appliance’s
memory.
Approximately 4 litres of water are required
for regenerating the water softening
system. The overall water consumption per
load can therefore be increased by between
0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to
the water hardness setting.
