Forget a dish? Here’s when you can add it.

Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD cycle. With other wash cycles, ~ou can add dishes at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash portion of’ the cycle.

However, opening the door during any cycle lessens cleaning power because the temperature inside the dishwasher is lowered. So try to load everything at the beginning.

Here’s how to add a forgotten dish:

1.Push the door latch to the left. Washing will stop.

2.Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then open the door,

3.Add dishes you’ve forgotten.

4.Close the door and push the latch to the far right. When the door is locked, washing will continue.

HDA489 specifications

The Hotpoint HDA489 is a versatile and efficient dishwasher designed for modern households seeking performance combined with convenience. This appliance stands out in the crowded market of dishwashers with its array of features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics aimed at delivering exceptional cleaning results.

One of the key features of the Hotpoint HDA489 is its impressive cleaning performance. The dishwasher is equipped with multiple wash cycles tailored for different types of loads. From heavy-duty pots and pans to delicate glassware, the HDA489 has cycles designed to tackle every dishwashing challenge. The high-temperature wash cycle effectively sanitizes dishes, making it ideal for families with small children or for those who prioritize hygiene.

Energy efficiency is another highlight of the Hotpoint HDA489. With its ENERGY STAR certification, this model ensures that it consumes less water and electricity without compromising on performance. This not only saves money on utility bills but also contributes to a more sustainable household.

The HDA489 features a spacious interior with an adjustable rack system, allowing users to maximize their loading efficiency. The upper rack can be rearranged to accommodate larger items or tall glasses, while the lower rack is designed to hold larger dishes and pans securely. This flexibility ensures that every load is optimally loaded, enhancing cleaning effectiveness.

Another standout technology in the Hotpoint HDA489 is the soil sensor. This intelligent system assesses the level of dirtiness in the water and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. By prolonging the wash for heavily soiled items and shortening it for lightly soiled dishes, the soil sensor optimizes energy and water use.

The dishwasher operates quietly, thanks to its advanced sound insulation, making it suitable for open-concept living spaces where noise levels can be a concern. With a noise level of around 55 decibels, the HDA489 ensures that household activities can continue uninterrupted while the dishwasher is running.

Additionally, the Hotpoint HDA489 is designed with user convenience in mind. Intuitive controls and a clear digital display make it easy to select cycles, start, pause, or customize settings as needed. The delay start feature also allows users to set the dishwasher to run at their convenience, further enhancing its usability.
