Hotpoint DWF60 Before Using your Appliance, Adjusting the Water Softener, Display readout example

Before Using your Appliance...

Before using your Dishwasher you must carry out the following steps to ensure you obtain the best possible wash performance from your appliance.

Follow these 4 steps:

-Adjust the Water Softener.

-Fill the Salt Container.

-Fill the Rinse Aid Container.

-Add detergent.

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...

●In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water i.e containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains are left behind on crockery and glasses etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, ie. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

●The water Softener should be properly adjusted to optimise salt consumption and for best washing results.

●In order to ensure that the correct amount of salt is being used to regenerate the water softener, the water hardness adjuster needs to be set accordingly. To set this correctly the hardness of your water needs to be ascertained. Find on the table the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments or contact your local Water company to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

●Press and hold the ECONOMY 50˚ programme button 9 , and set the mains switch 1 to on, before releasing the programme button again.

The indicator lamp for the ECONOMY 50˚ button flashes, as does the figure 4 in the numerical display 3 . The latter represents the value that was pre-set in the factory.

To change the setting:

Press the ECONOMY 5 ˚ programme button 9 .

Every time the button is pressed, the

7figure increases by one. After reaching

,the display starts at0again.

●Set the mains switch 1 to OFF. The new setting is stored in the appliance’s memory.

Approximately 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water softening system. The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting.
