Frequently Asked Questions - HIC 3C41 CW HOTPOINT

How do I install my Hotpoint HIC 3C41 CW dishwasher?
Ensure the appliance is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply (3/4 inch thread) and the drain hose to a siphon or standpipe. Plug into a grounded outlet. Level the feet to avoid wobbling.
What is the correct way to load dishes?
Place plates facing the center, cups upside down in the top rack, and cutlery with handles down. Avoid blocking spray arms. Ensure large items do not prevent detergent dispenser from opening.
Which program should I use for heavily soiled pots?
Use the Intensive program (70°C) with an increased water pressure to remove baked-on food. Add extra detergent if needed.
How do I clean the filter?
Turn the coarse filter counterclockwise and lift out. Rinse all filters under running water. Reassemble and lock in place. Clean at least once a month to maintain performance.
What does the salt indicator light mean?
It indicates low salt levels. Open the salt container cap and fill with dishwasher salt (up to 1.5 kg). Wipe any excess and close. The light will turn off after a cycle.
Why is my dishwasher not drying properly?
Check that rinse aid is filled and the setting is correct. Use the extra drying option if available. Ensure the final rinse temperature is high enough (Eco program may have lower heat).
Can I use regular dish soap?
No, only use dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tablets). Regular dish soap creates excessive foam and may damage the appliance.
How do I activate the child lock?
Press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds until the child lock indicator lights up. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents accidental button presses.
What should I do if the dishwasher won't start?
Check if the door is fully closed and latched. Verify power supply and water tap is open. Press the Start/Pause button. If still not working, consult the troubleshooting section in the manual.
How do I reset the dishwasher?
Turn off the appliance and wait 10 seconds. Turn back on. If an error code appears, note it and refer to the manual. A common reset is pressing Start/Pause for 5 seconds.

FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

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.

HOTPOINT HIC 3C41 CW - FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR - 1

natural_image Illustration of a hand pouring granular material into a bowl on a stand next to a sliced fruit (no text or symbols)
  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).

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 sets the default value for the water hardness.

  • Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
  • Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
  • Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

Setting is complete!

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. 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. Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

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. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. 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.

  • Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
  • Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
  • Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.
  • Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
    • The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light flash.
  • Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
  • Switch it off using the ON/OFF button

Setting is complete!

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 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.

- If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).

- If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (3-4).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

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.

Diagram of a device with labeled parts and a hand holding a tool, showing internal components and assembly steps.

  1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D there are indications 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.

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

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

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).

1 A C 3

2 B A 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 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 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.

HOTPOINT HIC 3C41 CW - CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a hand holding a tool, no visible text or symbols

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.

HOTPOINT HIC 3C41 CW - CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS - 2

natural_image Diagram of a hand operating a mechanical device with an upward arrow, no text or symbols present

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

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case your dishwasher doesn't work properly, check if the problem can be solved by going through the following list.

For other errors or issues please contact authorized After-sales Service which contact details can be found in the warranty booklet.
