Hotpoint DWF61 - Manual (Page 19)

Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of crockery,
cutlery etc., as well as the amount and
condition of food remains, with the details
contained in the programme overview.
The corresponding programme sequence,
duration and consumption details are shown
in the bottom half of the overview.
For example:
Use the “Normal” programme for dishes and
utensils which have plenty of food remains
stuck on hard.
Reduce costs
If only a small number of dishes have been
loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a
programme that operates at the next lowest
temperature will usually suffice.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on
standard operating conditions. The values can
vary considerably according to:
-
Different amounts of dishes
- Temperature of mains water supply.
- Pressure of mains water supply
- Ambient temperature
- Fluctuations in mains voltage.
- Machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume,...)
Energy and water consumption is reduced by
up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in the
upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4.
Aquasensor (DWF 61 only)
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring
device with which the cloudiness of the water
in the dishwasher is measured.
A photoelectric sensor is used to detect the
degree of soiling in the water, caused by
dissolved food particles such as egg, fat and
rolled oats, etc.
The Aquasensor functions during all
programmes that include a pre-rinse cycle. If
the water is still ‘clean’ at the end of the
pre-rinse cycle, then the same water is used
for the following wash cycle. If the water is
dirty, it is pumped out of the dishwasher and
replaced by fresh water. The effect is to
reduce water consumption by approx. 4 litres
when the dishes are only ‘slightly’ dirty.
Switching the dishwasher ON.
- Press the mains ON/OFF switch to ON.
The indicator lights light up according
to the last selected programme. The
same programme will run again if no
other programme button is pressed.
- If the upper rack only is loaded, press
the button for the UPPER RACK
function 8 . (DWF61 only)
- If the lower rack only is loaded, press
the button for the LOWER RACK
function 8 . (DWF61 only)
- The programme starts automatically.
End of Programme.
- The programme has ended when a
figure
0 appears in the numerical
display 3 .
Switching the dishwasher OFF
Several minutes after the programme has
ended:
-
Set the mains switch to OFF.
- Turn the water tap off.
- Remove dishes, etc. when they have
cooled down.
Interrupting the programme.
-
Set the mains switch to OFF.
- The indicator light will go out.
The programme is retained in the
dishwasher’s memory.
- If the hot water was switched ON or
the appliance has already heated up
and then the appliance door opened,
leave the door ajar for several minutes
and then close. Otherwise, the appliance
door may fly open due to expansion.
- In order to resume the stored
programme, set the mains switch to
ON again.
