Hotpoint 3C26 Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Thank you for buying a Hotpoint product. You can download the Safety Instructions and the User Manual by visiting our website. Before using the appliance, carefully read the Safety Instructions guide. Product description includes various components such as the upper rack, lower rack, cutlery basket, and spray arms. The control panel features buttons for on-off/reset, program selection, half load, and rinse aid refill indicators. The control panel also includes program indicator lights, delay button, tablet button, and start/pause button.
• Page 2: First time use Advice regarding the first time use Rinse aid makes dish drying easier. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled when the rinse aid refill indicator light in the control panel is lit. The use of salt prevents the formation of limescale on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components. It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty. It is important to set the water hardness. Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion. To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. Using of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
• Page 3: Programs table outlines the duration, water consumption, and energy consumption for various wash programs. Eco program is the most efficient for normally soiled tableware and assesses compliance with EU Ecodesign legislation. Intensive program is recommended for heavily soiled crockery, particularly pans and saucepans. Mixed program is suitable for normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Rapid program is designed for half loads of lightly-soiled dishes and does not include a drying phase. Soak program is intended to refresh crockery planned for later washing without using detergent. Pre-treatment of dishes is not needed before any of the programs. Not all options can be used simultaneously during wash cycles. Actual program duration may vary based on several factors including water temperature and load type. Sensor calibration can increase program duration by up to 20 minutes.
• Page 4: Options can be selected directly by pressing the corresponding button. If an option is not compatible with the selected program, the corresponding LED flashes rapidly 3 times and beeps will sound. Press the TABLET button if you use combined detergents in tablet form. A half load cycle may be used to save water, electricity, and detergent. Select the program and press the HALF LOAD button to enable this option. If you use powder or liquid detergent, the HALF LOAD option should be off. It is possible to delay the start time of the program by 2, 4, or 8 hours. The DRAIN OUT function can be used to stop and cancel the active cycle. A long press of the START/PAUSE button will activate the DRAIN OUT function. The DELAY function cannot be set once a program has started.
• Page 5: Loading the racks Upper rack Lower rack Load delicate and light dishes such as glasses, cups, saucers, and low salad bowls. For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, and cutlery, large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted to create more space upwards. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards. The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
• Page 6: Daily use Check water connection Ensure the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and the tap is open. Switch on the dishwasher Press the ON/OFF button. Load the racks Refer to the section on loading the racks. Filling the detergent dispenser If a wrong program was selected, it can be changed if it has just begun. Choose the program and customize the cycle Select the appropriate program based on the type of crockery and its soiling level. Start adding extra crockery You can add crockery during the wash cycle without switching off the machine. End of wash cycle The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and a flashing indicator. Accidental interruptions If the door is opened or there is a power cut, the cycle stops and can be resumed. Advice and tips Remove food residues from crockery before loading and use dishwasher-safe items.
• Page 7: Care and maintenance Cleaning the filter assembly Regularly clean the filter assembly to prevent clogging. Check the spray arms periodically and clean them with a non-metallic brush. Using the dishwasher with clogged filters may cause malfunction and increased resource usage. The filter assembly consists of three filters that remove food residues. The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose. Check the filter assembly at least once per month or after every 30 cycles. Water softening system The water softener reduces water hardness and prevents scale buildup. Regeneration of the water softener occurs once per 5 Eco cycles.
