WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM  

VALUES  

(Default - in bold)  

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing  

scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency.  

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 regeneration process  

occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh water.

If this happens, clean the spill  

immediately with a dry cloth.  

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR  

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on  

the machine’s functional components.  

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the  

lower rack on the left side).

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.  

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.  

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 the 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).

It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.

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.  

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER  

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.  

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-  

D

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 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 infor-  

mation can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory setting is“3”.  

See„WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.  

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.  

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.  

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 QEUO18 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 switching on the appliance and accessing the settings menu. Water softening system reduces water hardness, preventing scale buildup and improving cleaning efficiency. Rinse aid makes dish drying easier and should be filled when the rinse aid refill indicator 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 based on observed performance. It is essential to set the water hardness according to the actual water hardness in your area.
• Page 2: 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. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over. When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher, please 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.
• 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. Auto Mixed 55° - Automatic program for normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Auto Fast 50° - Automatic program for normally and lightly soiled dishes, ensuring optimal cleaning in shorter time. Delicates 45° - Program for delicate items sensitive to high temperatures. Good Night 55° - Suitable for night-time operation with the lowest noise emission. Sanitizing 65° - For normally or heavily soiled crockery with additional antibacterial wash. Soak - Use 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: 14 standard place-settings Loading the racks Lower rack: Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports for arranging plates or loading pans and salad bowls. Top rack: Provides a targeted cleaning wash zone for bowls, mugs, and cutlery, making extra space for other dishes. 3D Zone Wash: Uses additional water jets to wash heavily soiled items by increasing water coverage on dishes. Upper rack: Load delicate and light dishes like glasses and cups. The upper rack has tip-up supports for arranging saucers or bowls. Cutlery basket: Fitted with top grids for improved cutlery arrangement and must be positioned at the front of the lower rack. Adjusting the height of the upper rack: Can be adjusted to create more space or accommodate bulky crockery. Care and maintenance: Regularly clean the filter assembly to prevent clogging and ensure proper water flow. Cleaning the filter assembly: Consists of three filters that remove food residues and must be checked and cleaned at least once per month or after every 30 cycles.
• Page 5: Daily Reference Guide Cleaning the spray arms is recommended to prevent food residue from blocking the holes. The top spray arm can be removed by pressing it up and rotating it anti-clockwise. The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards and rotating it. In case your dishwasher doesn’t work properly, check the troubleshooting list. Salt indicator being lit means the salt reservoir is almost empty. Rinse aid indicator being lit indicates the rinse aid dispenser is empty. Descale the appliance immediately if the descale indicator is lit or blinking. The dishwasher won’t start if the door is not closed properly. Excessive noise may be due to improperly arranged crockery. Dishes may not be clean if the detergent has not been measured out correctly.
• Page 6: Problems possible Causes Solutions 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. Open dishwasher door, press START/Pause button and close the door within 4 seconds. The display shows: H O and is lit; acoustic alarm sounds. The screen in the water inlet hose is clogged; it is necessary to clean it. The dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely. Clean the filter and descale the appliance. The detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers. An excessive amount of foam is present. The dishes are not dried well. Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Multifunctional tablets only will not provide as good drying effects as the actual use of liquid rinse aid. The dishes have been unloaded after the door was opened automatically but before the actual cycle end. For better drying results, it is recommended to let the dishes sit inside the dishwasher with the door open for additional 15 minutes after the cycle ends. Dishes and glasses have blue streaks or bluish tinges. Rinse aid dosage is excessive. Adjust the dosage to a lower setting. Salt reservoir is empty. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components. Dishwasher shows F8 E5. Valve is blocked or faulty. Close the water tap, if possible. Do not switch off the power supply. Call the service.
