Frequently Asked Questions - HDI 1L38-80 HOOVER

How do I reset the salt indicator light after refilling?

After filling the salt container, press the 'RESET' button (labeled 'Reset' for salt empty light) for a few seconds until the indicator light switches off. Always fully replenish the salt container to ensure correct functioning.

What should I do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check that the plug is connected, the door is closed, the On/Off button is pressed, and there is electricity. If still not working, check the fuse and ensure the water tap is open. For further issues, refer to the troubleshooting section.

How do I clean the filters?

Remove the filter unit by turning the handle anticlockwise. Separate the central container and gauze filter. Rinse under running water, using a small brush if needed. Reassemble by positioning the gauze at the bottom and screwing back clockwise. Check every two weeks for the micro filter.

Can I use detergent tablets?

Yes, but for short programmes tablets may not dissolve completely. It is recommended to use longer programmes. Place tablets in the wash section of the detergent container, not directly in the tub. For combined detergents (all-in-1), ensure rinse aid container is empty or set to lowest position.

How do I adjust the water softener?

Turn off the dishwasher. Hold the 'PROGRAMME SELECTION' button and press 'ON/OFF' simultaneously. Keep pressing until an audible signal sounds, then release. The current level is shown by indicator lights. Press the button to change the level (0-5). Turn off to confirm. Refer to the water hardness table in the manual.

Why are there white spots on my dishes?

White spots are usually due to hard water. Check the salt and rinse aid levels and adjust the water softener setting. If the problem persists, contact the Service Centre. Ensure you are using proper dishwasher salt and rinse aid.

How do I load the upper basket for large plates?

Turn the front stops outward, remove the basket, and remount it in the upper position. Replace the stops. Plates larger than 20 cm cannot be loaded in the upper basket when in the upper position. Use the lower basket for very large plates.

What is the 'Super Eco' option?

The 'Super Eco' button saves approximately 25% energy and time by reducing wash water temperature and drying time. It is recommended for lightly soiled dishes and improved drying results. Leave the door half-open at the end of the cycle for natural air circulation.

How do I install a wooden panel on the door?

The panel must be 596.5 mm wide, 645-720 mm high, and 18-22 mm thick, weighing 3-8 kg. Drill 12 mm deep holes (2 mm diameter) in the panel according to the diagram. Fasten the supplied frames with screws, hang the panel, adjust alignment, and fix with additional screws. Contact the Assistance Service for panels over 8 kg.

What should I do if the dishes are not drying properly?

Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and the setting is appropriate (recommended position 4). At the end of the cycle, leave the door ajar to improve air drying. If using 'Super Eco', drying may be less effective; consider leaving the door half-open. Also check that the final rinse temperature is adequate.

LOADING THE SALT

■ The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.
■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme.

IMPORTANT

After loading the salt, YOU MUST run a complete washing cycle, or the PRE-WASH/COLD RINSE/REFRESH programme.

■ The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

IMPORTANT

(Only for first start up)

When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.

INFORMATION FOR THE TEST LABORATORIES

Please ask information required for comparison testing and measuring noise levels, according to EN normative, to the following address:

[e-mail]

In the request, please specify model name and number of the dishwasher (see rating plate).

LOADING THE DETERGENT

The detergent

IMPORTANT

It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form.

“FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained.

Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher, and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.

Filling the detergent container

The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A "2"). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open.

At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

WARNING!

When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or others do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.

The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed.

We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B).

After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

Diagram of a device with labeled parts and directional arrows, showing components like '1' and '2'

Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste.

IMPORTANT

Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.

TYPES OF DETERGENT

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent.

IMPORTANT

To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.

Concentrated detergents

The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50°C wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher.

The 50^ C wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results of the 65^ C programmes but at a lower temperature.

Combined detergents

The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents).

"ALL in 1" combined detergents

If you are planning to use "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1 "/4 in 1"/"5 in 1", etc.) combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following:

- read carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging;

■ the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.

If when using this type of product, you don't get satisfactory washing results, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:

■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
■ a reduction in washing and drying performance.

IMPORTANT

Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.

Please note that using the "ALL in 1" combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights.

If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditional separate products (salt, detergent and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.

In this case, we recommends that you:

■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;
■ run one normal washing cycle without a load.

Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.

LOADING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3"). To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening.

It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher.

Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin.

The recommended position is 4.

The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance.

It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results.

If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system (fig.A "4") consists of:

a central container that traps the larger particles;

a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;

a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse.

■ To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
■ For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).
■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary a small brush can be used.
■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.

WARNING!

After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.

Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

Never use the dishwasher without the filters.

PRATICAL HINTS

How to get really good wash results

■ Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
■ Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
■ If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
■ Place the dishes face downwards.
■ Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
■ After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
■ Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
■ To wash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
c) keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings

If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

What not to wash

It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
■ Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANT

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Useful hints

■ In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
■ If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.
■ The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.
■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
■ Dishwasher cleaning is recommended, in order to remove limestone deposits or dirt. We suggest you run a washing cycle periodically with specialist dishwasher cleaning products. For all cleaning operations the dishwasher must be empty.
If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A "5") are clear.

If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1b). Push it upwards (fig. 1) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise). The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position.
   ■ Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water.
   ■ The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.

IMPORTANT

This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which will automatically discharge any excess water should a problem occur.

WARNING!

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, we recommend that the dishwasher is not moved or tilted during operation. If however it is necessary to tilt or move the dishwasher, please ensure that the washing cycle is complete and that there is no remaining water inside the dishwasher.

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90^ fH (French grading) or 50^ dH (German grading) through 6 different settings.

The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.

Level	Water hardness		Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting
	^ fH (French grading)	^ dH (German grading)
0	0-5	0-3	NO	No indicator lights
1	6-15	4-9	YES	Indicator light 1
2	16-30	10-16	YES	Indicator lights 1,2
*3	31-45	17-25	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3
4	46-60	26-33	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3,4
5	61-90	34-50	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3,4,5 flashing

* The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 3, as this is suitable for the majority of users.

According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way:

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before start of this procedure.

1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL an audible signal sounds. Some "PROGRAMME SELECTION" indicator lights will come on to indicate the current water softener setting level.
3. Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, one indicator light will come on (the water softener level is indicated by the number of lights on). For level 0 all lights will be off.
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.
