Frequently Asked Questions - HDI 2DO623 HOOVER

How to load salt in the dishwasher?

Unscrew the cap of the salt container located at the bottom of the tub. Pour in specific dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full (some water will overflow). Clean the threads and screw the cap back on. Then start a full wash cycle or a pre-wash/soak/rinse program.

What to do if dishes have white spots?

White spots usually indicate a lack of salt or incorrect rinse aid setting. Check the salt level and increase the rinse aid dose by one unit. If the problem persists, check the water hardness and adjust the softener.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage?

Open the rinse aid dispenser lid (to the left of the detergent compartment). Use a coin to turn the selector (D) from 1 to 6. The recommended position is 4. Increase the dose if there are whitish stains, decrease if there are deposits.

Why does the machine not take water?

Check that the water tap is open, the door is properly closed, the timer is correctly set, and the supply hose is not bent. If the supply hose filter is clogged, clean it.

How to clean the filters?

Turn the micro filter handle counterclockwise to remove it. Remove the central reservoir and the metal plate. Wash everything under running water with a small brush if necessary. Reassemble correctly by screwing the micro filter back on clockwise.

What to do if the spray arms do not rotate?

Reduce the amount of detergent, check that no dish is blocking their rotation, and clean the filters and metal plate. If the arm nozzles are clogged, disassemble the arms and clean them under running water.

How to use the third basket?

The third basket is designed for flat, long or small utensils (cups, saucers, knives, etc.). Place the items with the hollow side down. The basket is removable by removing the safety stops at the ends of the slides. It allows mixed loading thanks to its three inclined levels.

Can I use all-in-one tablets?

Yes, but follow the manufacturer's instructions. Tablets must be placed in the detergent compartment, not directly in the tub. For quick programs, they may not dissolve completely. In case of washing problems, revert to traditional products (salt, detergent, rinse aid).

How to install the dishwasher under a worktop?

Remove the top worktop by unscrewing the screws located underneath and at the back (fig. 6a). After removal, retighten the screws (fig. 6b). The height is then reduced to 82 cm, allowing installation under a standard worktop. Ensure that the hoses are not bent.

What to do in case of noise during washing?

The noise may be caused by dishes hitting each other. Better arrange them in the baskets. Also check that the spray arms are not hitting the dishes. If necessary, reorganize the load.

INSTALLATION IN FITTED KITCHENS

Fitting between existing cabinets

■ The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.

■ The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof (fig. 5).

Underneath existing work top

(when fitting beneath a work top)

In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6a).

IMPORTANT

After removing the work top, the screws MUST BE screwed again under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6b).

■ The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top (fig. 7).

WATER CONNECTION

IMPORTANT

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60^ C.

■ Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa.
■ The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1 B).
■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded connector (fig. 2).
■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B” with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.
If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Connecting the outlet hose

■ The outlet hose should discharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).
If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
■ When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

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. The salt

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.

Using the lower basket

■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates and soup plates can be loaded into the lower basket.
■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles pointing upwards and place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 6) making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.

■ The lower basket is fitted with a special adjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4). This permits stable and optimum loading, even when the size and/or shape of the dishes is non-standard.
- POSITION "A": for a standard load, or one that excludes pans, salad bowls and the like.
- POSITION “B”: for dishes which, although standard size, have a particular shape (very deep bowls, square dishes or ones without borders etc.).
- POSITION "C": for larger than average flat plates and/or ones with non-standard shapes (square, hexagonal, oval, pizza dishes etc.).

■ Smaller plates (used for dessert plates for example), can also be placed into the lower basket as shown in the figure 5, with the support flap placed outwards ("B").

For normal or large plates the flap must be in the position ("A").

WARNING!

If the small plates are placed in the basket with the support flap in the incorrect position, the plates will interfere with the lower spraying arm preventing it to rotate.

Please load the dishwasher sensibly to ensure the best wash results.

IMPORTANT

The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load.

For loading salt, cleaning filter and for ordinary maintenance, the complete extraction of the basket is necessary.

Cutlery basket

The top of cutlery basket can be removed, for enable various loading options.

Using the third basket

■ The third basket has been designed to load items such as utensils of small dimensions or flat and long shaped items. By freeing the lower baskets from these objects, loading big-size items becomes more comfortable and easier, making it possible for instance to load plates and pots in the lower basket.
■ The third basket can be loaded with the following items: coffee cups and side plates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls, saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladles and large spoons, graters, and accessories for small appliances (e.g. food mixer blades).

ATTENTION!

The third basket is NOT designed for loading cutlery. The absence of racks for fixing cutlery could involve such items being found in the lower baskets.

In order to obtain optimum washing results, it is advisable to load items with their underside towards the ceiling of the dishwasher (e.g. small plates and bowls).
■ The third basket can be easily extracted from the dishwasher, by removing the front stops at the beginning of basket tracks.
■ The third basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use. Due to its partition in three tilted sections and absence of fixed racks, it can be loaded in numerous ways: only coffee cups and side plates; or coffee cups mixed with bowls and utensils; or again with side plates, graters, and spoons.

A standard daily load is represented in fig. 7.

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.

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).

Technical line drawing of a device with a handle and control panel (no text or symbols)

A

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

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.

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED

After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button to the off position.

If the machine is not going to be used for some time, it is advisable to follow these rules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits;
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. turn off the water tap;
4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. leave the door ajar;
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;
7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0°C any water left inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.

N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.

If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher. This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.

The manufacturers decline any responsibility for any printing mistakes in this instruction booklet. They also reserve the right to modify their own appliances as necessary without altering the essential characteristics.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

- WEEE should not be treated as household waste;

- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
