Connecting the water supplies  
EN  
! Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected  
and the old hose is disposed of safely.  
! Connection to the water and electricity supplies  
should only be performed by a qualified technician.  
! The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water  
hoses or the electricity supply cable.  
! Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water  
supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand  
tight is sufficient.  
Connecting the water inlet hose  
! Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.  
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the  
electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the  
right or the left in order to achieve the best possible  
installation (see figure).  
! Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available  
to suit your tap.  
To a suitable cold water connection point: before  
! DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet  
instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.  
Standpipe  
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too  
far down the standpipe.  
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with  
‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are  
inserted fully into the standpipe. This  
will prevent the pipe from jumping out  
during installation and use.  
attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly  
clear so that any impurities that may be present in  
the water do not clog the appliance; after  
performing this operation, screw the inlet hose  
tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded  
connection.  
! DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical  
outlet.  
! ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is  
routed as shown in the diagram.  
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm  
(11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap  
fitted and must discharge into the same drain system  
as your household sink.  
To a suitable hot water connection point: your  
dishwasher may be provided with hot water from  
the mains supply (if you have a central heating  
system with radiators) provided that it does not  
exceed a temperature of 60°C.  
! It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.  
Screw the hose to the tap as described for  
connection to a cold water supply.  
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a  
specialist store or an authorised technician (see  
Assistance).  
! The water pressure must be within the values  
indicated in the Technical data table (see Installation).  
! The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Sink Waste System  
Anti-flooding protection*  
EN  
For under sink drainage:  
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:  
• before connecting the drain hose, remove any  
internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of  
debris which could cause a blockage  
- is provided with a special system which blocks the  
water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from  
inside the appliance.  
• remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and  
ensure that the sealing bung is removed  
• the hose should be routed, such that it is raised  
to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2”).  
- is provided with a Water Stop* safety device, in other  
words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a  
transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the  
inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high  
pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose  
becomes a bright red colour and carries the water  
instead, thus avoiding any leakage.  
! It is very important to check the external hose  
regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced  
by an authorised technician as soon as possible (see  
Assistance).  
! Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diamtere  
of 32mm.  
• Untie the end of the  
GREY drainage hose from  
the rear of the appliance.  
• Reposition the ‘Hooked  
End Support’ as required  
along the GREY drainage  
hose.  
• If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out  
the membrane, bung or blanking plug.  
! Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to  
prevent it coming away while the machine is in use  
and causing a flood.  
* Only available in selected models.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid  
If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying  
results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a  
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set  
positions (the default position is set to 4):  
if there are bluish streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster  
to a lower number (1-3).  
if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are  
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the  
adjuster to a higher number (4-6).  
! If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1,  
etc.) and you wish to further improve the drying performance  
of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster  
to 2.  
The default setting of the water softening system is +.

If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc.) fill the  
salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the  
water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.  
In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,  
make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt  
removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation  
of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the  
lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be  
filled:

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents  
containing enzymes  
EN  
We strongly recommend that you use detergents  
that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as  
these products are harmful to the environment.  
Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at  
temperatures around 50°C, and as a result  
detergents containing enzymes can be used in  
conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in  
order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C  
wash cycle.  
To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in  
appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s  
recommendations, the hardness of the water and  
the soil level and quantity of the crockery. Even if  
they are biodegradable, detergents contain  
substances that may alter the balance of nature.  
Recycling & Disposal Information  
As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping  
the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use  
quality recycled components to keep down customer  
costs and minimise material wastage.  
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances  
carefully.  
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door,  
plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance.  
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the  
appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains  
socket and the door cannot be locked shut.
