intended purpose, as you will find described in this Use and Care Guide.

s This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher, you can obtain one by contacting the service location nearest you.

Q Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Use only powder or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For

plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Load light plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating unit and be damaged.

To minimize the possibility of injury.

When loading items to be washed:

A.Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and

B.Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the

risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly. Before discarding a dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment.

Keep all washing detergents and wetting agents out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning the control dial to the OFF position does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

GAS is produced by the chemical action within your water heater. It can accumulate in the water heater andor water pipes if hot water has not been used for a period of two weeks or longer.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent the possibility of damage or injury, if you have not used hot water for two weeks or more, or moved into a residence in which the hot water system may not have been used for some time, turn on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Also, since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

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.

In summary, the Hotpoint HDA489 offers a blend of effective cleaning, energy efficiency, and user-friendly design. With various wash cycles, intelligent technologies, and a spacious interior, it shines as a reliable dishwasher solution for modern kitchens.
