Frequently Asked Questions - RHDW1S RUSSELL HOBBS

How do I install the Russell Hobbs RHDW1S dishwasher?
Place the dishwasher on a stable, level surface near a water supply and drain. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap (max 60°C) and the drain hose to a sink drain or standpipe. Plug into a grounded outlet. Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.
What type of detergent should I use?
Use a dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tablets) specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Do not use hand dishwashing liquid. Also use rinse aid and dishwasher salt for optimal results.
Why is the dishwasher not starting?
Check that the door is closed properly and the power cord is plugged in. Ensure the water supply is turned on and the hose is not kinked. Verify that the child lock is not activated. If the problem persists, check the fuse or circuit breaker.
How do I clean the filter?
Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower rack. Twist the coarse filter (if present) and lift out the fine filter. Rinse both parts under running water to remove debris. Reassemble and ensure they are securely locked in place.
What do I do if the dishes are not drying?
Ensure rinse aid is filled and the dosage is set correctly (usually between 2-4). Select a program with a drying phase (e.g., Intensive). Avoid overloading and ensure items are angled to drain water. Open the door slightly after the cycle for steam to escape.
Can I connect the dishwasher to hot water?
The RHDW1S is designed for cold water connection (max 60°C). Connecting to hot water may damage internal components and void the warranty. Always use cold water.
How do I reset the dishwasher?
If the appliance is unresponsive, turn off the power at the wall socket for 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to cancel a running program. Some models may require pressing a specific combination; consult the manual.
What is the capacity of the RHDW1S?
It accommodates up to 6 place settings, suitable for a small household. Ideal for plates, bowls, glasses, and cutlery. Large trays or pots may not fit; check dimensions before loading.
Why is water left at the bottom after a cycle?
This could be due to a clogged filter or drain hose. Clean the filter and check the drain hose for kinks. Ensure the drain hose is not too long or too high (max height 1 meter). If the problem persists, the drain pump may be faulty.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts such as filters, spray arms, racks, and door seals are available from Russell Hobbs retailers or online platforms like Amazon. Use the model number RHDW1S to find compatible parts.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

Positioning the machine

When determining the place to put your machine on, take care to choose a place where you can easily load and unload your dishes.

Do not put your machine in any location where there is the probability for the room temperature to fall below 0^ C.

Before positioning, take the machine out of its packaging by following the warnings located on the package.

Position the machine close to a water tap or drain. You need to site your machine, taking into consideration that its connections will not be altered once they are made.

Do not grip the machine by its door or panel in order to move it.

Take care to leave a certain clearance from all sides of the machine so that you can comfortably move it back and forth during cleaning.

Make sure that the water inlet and outlet hoses do not get squeezed while positioning the machine. Also, make sure that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable.

Adjust the machine's adjustable feet so that it can stand level and balanced. Proper positioning of the machine ensures problem-free opening and closing of its door.

If the door of you machine does not close properly, check if the machine is stable on the floor it stands; if not, adjust the adjustable feet and ensure its stable position.

Water connection

Be sure that the indoor plumbing issuitable for installing a dishwasher. Also, we recommend that you fit a filter to the water pipe or tap so as to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to forestall such complaints as yellowing and formation of deposits after washing.

Water inlet hose

Do not use the water inlet hose of your old machine, or of any other machine. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine instead. If you are going to connect a new or long-unused water inlet hose to your machine, run water through it for a while before making the connection. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be at a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and and at a maximum of 1 Mpa. If the water pressure is above 1 Mpa, a pressure-relief valve should be fitted inbetween. After the connections are made, the tap should be turned on fully and checked for water tightness.

For the safety of your machine, make sure to always turn off the water inlet tap after each wash programme is finished.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcification

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

Filling with salt (Only if detergent, tablet or gel does not have salt contained in them)

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. To

RUSSELL HOBBS RHDW1S - Filling with salt (Only if detergent, tablet or gel does not have salt contained in them) - 1

put softener salt, first remove the lower basket and then open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. 1 2 At first fill the compartment with 2kg salt and water 3 at overflowing level If available, using the funnel 4 provided will make filling easier; refit the cap and close it.

After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1.5 kg)

Fill the salt compartment with water at first use only.

We recommend that you use small grained or powder softener salt.

Do not put table salt into your machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment may decrease over time. When you start your dishwasher, the salt

natural_image Mechanical assembly diagram showing a clamping mechanism with a numbered component (no text or symbols present)

compartment gets filled with water. Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine.

This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not going to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage (to prevent corrosion) to your machine due to the salt overflow while filling in the salt container.

For Customer Services, Spare Parts & Warranty Information please call 0845 683 8717

In order to understand whether or not the amount of softener salt in your machine is sufficient, check the transparent section on the salt compartment cap. There is sufficient salt if the transparent section is green. Salt has to be added if the transparent section is not green.

Testing strip

The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water supply. The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness level by using the test strip(if available).

Open the testing strip.Run water through your tap for 1 min.Keep the testing strip in water for 1 sec.Shake the testing strip after taking it out of water.Wait for 1 min.Make your machine's water hardness setting according to the result obtained through the testing strip.

Detergent usage

Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.

You can find powder , gel , and tablet detergents in the market that have been designed for household dishwashers.

Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of your children.

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent.

Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent manufacturers directly.

You may have to add more detergent into your machine, depending on the degree of soil and on the water hardness level in your area.

y o u r DETERGENT ②

Combined detergents

Detergent manufacturers also manufacture combined detergents that are called 2 in 1 - 3 in 1 - 5 in 1...

The 2 in1 detergents contain detergent+ salt or rinse aid . While using the 2 in 1 detergents, it should be observed which functions the tablet consists of.

The other tablet detergents also have detergent+rinse aid +salt+various extra functions.

Generally, combined detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or salt in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using this type of products:

  • Always make sure to check the specifications of the product you will use or whether or not it is a combined product.
  • Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water that machine is appertaining to.
  • Observe the instructions on packagings when using such products.

  • If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.

  • They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergents, you need to contact the manufacturers and find out about the suitable conditions of use.
  • When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
  • Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents. The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these types of detergents.

Recommended usage: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add salt and rinse aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

RUSSELL HOBBS RHDW1S - Points to consider when using this type of products: - 1

Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary such detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.

Warning: Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, arise with the use of this type of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

Rinse aid is used to prevent the stay of white water drops, lime stains, white film strip-shaped stains that may form on the dishes, as well as to increase the drying performance. Contrary to the popular beliefs, it is used not only for obtaining shinier dishes but also for obtaining sufficiently dried dishes. For this reason, care should be taken that there is adequate amount of rinse aid in the rinse aid compartment and only polishing material produced for use at dishwashers should be used.

Diagram illustrating a soldering process with labeled steps and directional arrows, including a numbered circle and sun icon.

To put rinse aid, remove the rinse aid compartment cap by turning it. Fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark; refit the cap and close it by turning it in a way that the nails will correspond to one another. By checking the rinse aid level indicator on the detergent dispenser, you can understand whether or not your machine needs rinse aid. A dark indicator b means that there is rinse aid in the compartment, while a light indicator a shows that you need to fill the compartment with rinse aid.

Diagram illustrating a droplet being injected into a container with two labeled parts (a and b) showing sun icons.

The rinse aid level adjuster can be set to a position between 1 and 6. Factory setting for rinse aid is the position 3.

You need to increase the degree of the adjuster if water stains form on your dishes after a wash, whereas you need to decrease the degree if a blue stain is left when wiped by hand.3

Warning: Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and thus reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a rag.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

If you properly place your dishes into the machine, you will be using it in the best way in terms of energy consumption, washing and drying performance.

There are two separate baskets for you to load your dishes into your machine. You can load round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad, plates, cutlery sets In to the lower basket.

The upper basket has been designed for tea plates, dessert plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When placing long-stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they will not remain steady and may be damaged.

It is more appropriate to locate the thin narrow parts into the middle sections of baskets.

You can place spoons among the other cutlery sets in order to prevent them from sticking to one another. You are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result.

To avoid any possible injuries, always place such long-handle and sharp-pointed dishes as serving fork, bread knife etc. with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

Warning: Place your dishes into your machine in a way that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.

Dish rack

There are dish racks on the upper basket of your machine. a b You can use these dish racks in open or closed position. When they are in open position a you can place your cups on them; and when i n closed position b you can place long glasses on the basket. Also, you can use these racks by placing long forks, knives and spoons on them laterally.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the machine at regular intervals prolongs the machine's service life.

Oil and lime may accumulate in the machine's washing section. In case of such accumulation;

-Fill the detergent compartment without loading any dishes into the machine, select a programme that runs at high temperature, and start the machine. In case of insufficiency, use special cleansing material available in the market. (Cleansing material produced special to machines by detergent producers.)

Cleaning the seals in the machine door,

-To clean any accumulated residues in the door seals, wipe the seals regularly by using a dampened cloth.

Cleaning machine,

Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a month.

Unplug your machine and turn off its tap before starting the cleaning.

Do not use hard materials when cleaning your machine. Wipe with a fine cleaning material and a dampened cloth.

Spray arms

Check whether or not the holes for the upper and lower spray arms are clogged. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water.

You can remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be removed by turning the nut to the left.

Be sure that the nut is perfectly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Hose filter

Water is prevented by the inlet hose filter so as to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to forestall such complaints as yellowing and formation of deposits after washing. Check the filter and the hose from time to time and clean them if necessary. To clean the filter, first turn off your tap and then remove the hose. After removing the filter from the hose, clean it under the tap. Insert the cleaned filter back into its place inside the hose. Refit the hose.
