Frequently Asked Questions - HSIP 4O21 WFE HOTPOINT

How do I load the dishwasher properly?

Place plates facing the center, bowls tilted down, and cutlery in the basket with handles down. Avoid blocking spray arms.

Which cycle should I use for normal soil?

Use the Normal or Eco cycle for everyday dishes. Eco is more energy-efficient.

What does the 'Half Load' option do?

The half load option allows washing only the upper or lower rack, saving water and energy when the dishwasher is not full.

How do I clean the filter?

Turn the coarse filter counterclockwise and remove. Rinse under running water and scrub if needed. Reassemble every 2-3 weeks.

What does the 'Eco' cycle do?

The Eco cycle uses lower temperatures and longer wash time to minimize energy and water consumption while still cleaning effectively.

Why is the dishwasher not draining?

Check the drain hose for kinks, clean the filter, and ensure the sink drain is not clogged. If still blocked, the drain pump may need service.

How do I reset the dishwasher?

Press and hold the Start/Pause button for about 3 seconds to cancel a cycle. Alternatively, turn off the power at the wall for 1 minute.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use dishwasher-specific detergent (powder, gel, or tabs). Avoid hand dish soap as it causes excessive suds.

How often should I add salt and rinse aid?

Check the indicators on the control panel. Add salt when the light is on (approximately every 20 cycles), and rinse aid when the indicator lights up (every 10-15 cycles).

What do the error codes mean?

Common codes: F1 (water leakage), F2 (delayed start), F3 (heating fault). Refer to the manual for full list. Most can be resolved by resetting.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

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.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
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).

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. The "Pre-Wash" program alone is not sufficient.

Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.

The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances. After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.

Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.

Using salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent. Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

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 factory setting is "3" for average water hardness.

To change, follow instructions in section "SETTING MENU".

Water Hardness Table
Level		°dHGerman degrees	°fHFrench degrees	°ClarkEnglish degrees
1	Soft	0 - 6	0 - 10	0 - 7
2	Medium	7 - 11	11 - 20	8 - 14
3	Average	12 - 16	21 - 29	15 - 20
4	Hard	17 - 34	30 - 60	21 - 42
5	Very hard	35 - 50	61 - 90	43 - 62

FIRST TIME USE RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency.

This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt container when empty.

Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.

Regeneration process starts in final rinse and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends.

• Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5 L of water; • Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle; • Consumes below 0.005 kWh of energy.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light ✦ in the control panel is lit.

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
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 instructions in section "SETTING MENU".

If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO), 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 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is "5".

- If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).

- If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid, and refined salt is required.

We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used.

Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.

The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 25 g (powder detergent) or 25 ml (liquid detergent) and an additional teaspoon of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly (minimum 20 g/ml), e.g., skip the powder/gel placed inside the tub.

To open the detergent dispenser, press button 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 information mentioned earlier to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indications to help with 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.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET DETERGENT button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

If you are using all-in-one detergents, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard (follow the instructions given on the packaging).

OPERATION INDICATOR

A LED light projected on the floor indicates that the dishwasher is working.

The light stays on during the cycle and flashes at the end of the cycle.

This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in the "SETTINGS MENU".

LOADING THE RACKS

CUTLERY RACK

The third rack was designed to house the [1] cutlery.

Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery [1] makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards.

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.

The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

(loading example for the upper rack)

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards.

The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.

We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded.

NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

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.

Depending on the model: - to unfold the flaps, slide them up and rotate, or release them from the snaps and pull them down.

- to fold the flaps, rotate them and slide them down, or pull them up and attach them to the snaps.

LOWER RACK

For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interference with the spray arm.

(loading example for the lower rack)

The lower rack has a Space Zone A, a special pull-out support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in an upright position, thus taking up less space. To use it, just get hold of the colored grip and pull it upwards B while rotating it forward. The supports can slide right and left to fit the size of the crockery.

The lower rack has tip-up supports C which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

ZONE WASH 3D

Zone Wash 3D uses additional water jets located both in the lower and upper part of the dishwasher (marked with orange color) to wash more intensively heavily soiled items by increasing water coverage on dishes.

Example: Load pots and casseroles facing the lower part of Zone Wash 3D components and activate the 3D Zone Wash option on the panel.

DAILY USE

1. CHECK WATER CONNECTION

Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and that the tap is open.

1. LOAD THE RACKS (see LOADING THE RACKS).

7. END OF WASH CYCLE

The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and the display shows "End". Open the door and switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.

The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended periods of inactivity to minimise electricity consumption. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

MODIFYING A RUNNING PROGRAM

If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, press and hold the ON/OFF button, and the machine will switch off.

Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any desired options; start the cycle by pressing the START button and closing the door within 4 sec.

ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY

Without switching off the machine, open the door (the ":" stop blinking and START led starts blinking) (beware of HOT steam!) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the START button and close the door within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point at which it was interrupted.

ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. To resume the cycle from where it was interrupted, press the START button and close the door within 4 sec.

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS

Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating.

Place any small items in the cutlery basket.

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.

After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures. • Copper and tin crockery. • Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

• 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.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter. In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE

To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS

Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.

Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one.

For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing the hose.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly.

Using dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside filtration system or sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting in lose of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.

At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.

To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in a clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

INSTALLATION

ATTENTION: If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE

- Run the water until it is perfectly clear.

- Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn on the tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician.

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may not function properly. Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE:

WATER SUPPLY cold or hot (max. 60°C)
WATER INTAKE 3/4"
POWER OF WATER PRESSURE	0,05 ÷ 1 MPa (0.5 ÷ 10 bar)7,25 – 145 psi

CONNECTING THE WATER OUTLET HOSE

Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm A.

The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug B.

ANTI-FLOODING PROTECTION

Anti-flooding protection. To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device

New Aqua Stop, which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

- The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations; The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION).

- The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

- The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.

If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see AFTER-SALES SERVICE). Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

POSITIONING AND LEVELLING

1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.
3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop.
4. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it.
