Hotpoint DWF60 Manual Do Utilizador

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.

● 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 50˚ programme 
button  9 .

Every time the button is pressed, the 
figure increases by one. After reaching 
7, the display starts at 0 again.

● 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.
