You will hear a bleep and the display will show that the ‘FULL HEAT’ option has been selected. ‘NO HEAT’ drying means that the heating element does not operate during the drying period and the load dries from the residual heat of the last rinse water. 18 Salt, Rinse Aid and Detergent In order to function properly your dishwasher needs a supply of the above three items. Salt and rinse aid are replenished occasionally whilst detergent is added every time you wash a load. Various manufacturers sell dishwasher rinse aid and detergent, most of which are suitable for your Hotpoint dishwasher. We particularly recommend Sun rinse aid and detergent as they give excellent results on all programmes and loads. Salt Salt is used to regenerate the resins in the water softener which aids both washing and rinsing, and avoids the furring-up of the internal parts of the machine. In areas with very soft water you will not need to add salt very often but you should occasionally use it to avoid the risk of furring-up. NOTE: Only use special granular or tablet salt. Do not use table salt, cooking salt or road salt as they contain insoluble substances which could harm the dishwasher. When using the dishwasher for the first time it is necessary to fill the Salt Container. The Salt Container will then need refilling when indicated on the Display Panel. How to fill the Salt Container The Salt Container is located on the bottom left-hand side of the dishwasher (see page 5). Remove the lower basket and turn the Salt Container Cap anti-clockwise to remove it. When the machine is new pour in 0.5 litre (1 pint) of water and then add 11/2-2kg (31/2-41/2lb) of granular salt or 1 kg (21Alb) of tablet salt. Water may overflow from the container when you are adding salt. After adding the salt, and before replacing the cap, ensure that the container is completely filled with water - top up as necessary. Replace the cap ensuring that it is securely tightened. Select and run the Prewash programme, (see page 18 for programme selection), which will rinse away any spilled salt solution. Salt Refill Indicator REFILL SALT Programme Drying Half Load Delay Start Jl I I I I i REFILL SALT will appear in the display panel when the salt container needs refilling. The indicator may still show immediately after adding salt as it takes time for the water to dissolve the salt. 11 Rinse Aid Rinse aid ensures quick drying and avoids the water spots and streaks which normally occur when a wet object is allowed to dry in the air. NOTE: Only use rinse aid designed for use in dishwashers, do not use normal washing-up liquid. When using the dishwasher for the first time it is necessary to fill the rinse aid dispenser and set the dosage as the dispenser will automatically add the rinse aid to the final rinse water. The rinse aid dispenser will then need refilling when indicated on the Display Panel. How to remove the Rinse Aid Dispenser Lid. The Rinse Aid Dispenser is located inside the dishwasher door (see page 5). Remove the lid by turning it 1/4 turn anti-clockwise and lifting it off. How to set the dosage The dispenser automatically adds rinse aid to the final rinse. The amount it dispenses can be adjusted by placing a teaspoon in the slot as shown. Any position from 1-6 can be chosen, the higher numbers dispense more rinse aid. We suggest that you initially set it between 4 and 5 and then adjust it in the light of your own experience. Page 25 highlights the faults found on washing with too much or too little rinse aid. How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser Fill the dispenser with Rinse Aid. The container holds approximately 100ml/1/4 pint. Refit the Rinse Aid Dispenser lid ensuring that it is firmly in position. 12 Programme Guide Programme Action Detergent Type of load and soil level Programme Time (mins)* Cold Fill Hot Fill 1.
