WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM  

VALUES  

(Default - in bold)  

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-  

venting scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning effi-  

ciency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required  

to refill the salt container when empty. The frequency of regeneration  

depends on the water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place  

once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regen-  

eration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh  

water.

It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.  

It is important to set the water hardness.  

Salt must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light  

trol panel is lit.  

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid  

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust  

the quantity of rinse aid used.  

To change, follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.  

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW  

RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.  

A maximum of 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.  

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).  

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set  

a mid-range number (4-5).

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap  

(anticlockwise).  

2. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir  

right up to its edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not un-  

usual for a little water to leak out.  

3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir  

with water.  

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.  

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into  

the container during the wash program (this could damage the water  

softener beyond repair).  

Run a program every time as soon as you completed refilling the salt  

reservoir to avoid corrosion.  

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER  

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce  

the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of  

detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.  

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the  

mentioned earlier information to add the proper  

quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indica-  

Setting the water hardness  

D

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.  

This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The facto-  

ry setting is “3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.  

tions to help the detergent dosing.

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.  

To change, follow instructions in section“SETTING MENU”.  

Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.  

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator  

light switches off.  

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time accord-  

ing to the program.  

Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause  

malfunction or damage to the appliance.  

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating  

element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.  

Use of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

Hotpoint H7I HP42 L UK Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Daily Reference Guide Before using the appliance carefully read safety and installation instructions. Thank you for buying a Hotpoint product. After installation, please remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher. Control panel includes various buttons for operation and indicators for salt and rinse aid levels. First time use involves setting the water hardness level. Water softening system prevents scale buildup and contributes to better cleaning efficiency. Rinse aid makes dish drying easier and should be filled when the indicator light is lit. The use of salt prevents the formation of limescale on dishes and machine components. Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid can improve drying results. Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
• Page 2: Daily use Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and that the tap is open. If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun. Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/Pause button and closing the door within 4 seconds. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by sound and the display shows END. Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. To avoid odour and sediment, run a high-temperature program at least once a month. If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe. Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.
• Page 3: Daily Reference Guide Programs table Eco 50° - Program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, being the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption. Auto Intensive 65° - Automatic program for heavily soiled dishes and pans, adjusting the program based on soil level. Auto Mixed 55° - Automatic program for normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Auto Fast Wash 50° - Automatic program for normally and lightly soiled dishes, ensuring optimal cleaning in a shorter time. Delicates 45° - Program for delicate items sensitive to high temperatures, such as glasses and cups. Good Night 55° - Suitable for night-time operation, ensuring optimal cleaning with low noise emission. Sanitizing 65° - For normally or heavily soiled crockery, with an additional antibacterial wash. Soak - Used to refresh crockery planned to be washed later, without detergent. Self Clean 65° - Program for maintenance of the dishwasher, to be used when empty with specific detergents. Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
• Page 4: Capacity: 15 standard place-settings Foldable flaps with adjustable position The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure for easier collection after washing. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards. The lower rack has tip-up supports for arranging plates or loading pans and salad bowls. Load delicate and light dishes in the upper rack. The height of the upper rack can be adjusted to create more space upwards. 3D Zone Wash uses additional water jets to wash heavily soiled items more intensively. Regularly clean the filter assembly to prevent clogging and ensure proper water flow.
• Page 5: Daily reference guide Cleaning the spray arms Food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards and rotating it anti-clockwise. Troubleshooting In case your dishwasher doesn’t work properly, check if the problem can be solved by going through the following list. For other errors or issues please contact authorized after-sales service. Spare parts will be available for a period of either up to 7 or up to 10 years. The salt indicator is lit or blinking. Refill the reservoir with salt as soon as possible. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components. The rinse aid indicator is lit or blinking. Rinse aid dispenser is empty. Refill the dispenser with a rinse aid. Descale the appliance immediately using the Self Clean program and a commercially available descaling product.
• Page 6: No water in the water supply or the tap is closed. Make sure there is water in the water supply and the water tap is open. The dishwasher does not fill the water. Check the inlet hose. The water inlet hose is kinked. The screen in the water inlet hose is clogged; it is necessary to clean it. The filter is clogged with food residues or limescale. Clean the filter and descale the appliance. The dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely. Drain hose positioned too low or siphoning into the home sewage system. The detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers. An excessive amount of foam is present. Rinse aid is not present or the dosage is too low. Multifunctional tablets only will not provide as good drying effects as the actual use of liquid rinse aid. The dishes are not dried well. Make sure the cycle has ended before starting to unload the dishes. The selected cycle does not have the drying phase. Cycle without the drying phase may not deliver desired drying efficiency. Dishes and glasses are covered with limescale or a whitish film. The water hardness setting is too low. Refill the reservoir with salt as soon as possible. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components.
