Hisense HS520E40XUK - User Manual

This document provides a comprehensive user manual for a Hisense dishwasher, model HS520E40XUK, covering its operation, maintenance, and safety guidelines.

Function Description

The Hisense dishwasher is designed for automatic dishwashing in domestic households. It features various wash cycles tailored for different levels of soiling and types of dishes. The appliance is equipped with a water softener system to remove minerals and salts from the water, which helps prevent deposits on dishes and utensils, especially in hard water areas. Detergent and rinse aid dispensers are integrated into the door, ensuring proper distribution during the wash cycle for effective cleaning and streak-free drying. The dishwasher also includes a filtering system to trap food remnants and debris, preventing them from recirculating and potentially clogging the pump.

Usage Features

Wash Cycles: The dishwasher offers several wash programs, including:

Intensive: For heavily soiled loads like pots, pans, and casserole dishes with dried food.
ECO (Standard Programme): An efficient program for normally soiled loads such as plates, glasses, and lightly soiled pans, optimized for combined energy and water consumption.
Light: For more delicate items sensitive to high temperatures, to be run immediately after use.
1h 60 min: For lightly and normally soiled plates and pans for everyday use.
Rapid: A shorter wash for lightly soiled loads that do not need drying.
Pre-Rinse: To rinse dishes that will be washed later.

Water Softener: The water softener can be adjusted from H0 (off) to H7, depending on the hardness of your tap water. Salt is loaded into a dedicated container beneath the lower basket. The salt refill indicator light on the control panel will illuminate when refilling is needed.

Rinse Aid Dispenser: The rinse aid is automatically added during the final rinse to prevent water spots and streaks, improving drying performance. The dispenser has adjustable settings (four or six, factory set to 5) to control the amount of rinse aid dispensed. An optical level indicator helps monitor the rinse aid quantity.

Detergent Dispenser: The dispenser has two compartments for main wash and pre-wash detergent. It is recommended to use detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. The manual also provides guidance on using "3 in 1" detergent tablets, which combine detergent, rinse aid, and salt functions.

Loading Baskets: The dishwasher features an upper basket for delicate and lighter dishware (glasses, cups, small bowls) and a lower basket for larger, more difficult-to-clean items (pots, pans, serving dishes). Both baskets are designed to ensure proper water circulation and prevent items from tipping over. The upper basket's height can be adjusted, and the lower basket includes folding racks for accommodating larger items. A separate cutlery tray is provided for arranging cutlery to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent obstruction of spray arms.

Operation:

Starting a Cycle: Load dishes, add detergent, close the door securely, turn on the power, and select the desired wash cycle.
Delay Start: The START DELAY function allows delaying the start time of any cycle by up to 24 hours.
Changing a Program: A cycle can be modified if it has only been running for a short time. If detergent has already been released, the dispenser must be refilled.
Adding a Forgotten Dish: Dishes can be added before the detergent cup opens by opening the door slightly to pause the washing, waiting for spray arms to stop, adding the dish, and closing the door.
Child Lock: A child lock function can be activated to prevent accidental changes to settings.
End of Wash: The dishwasher signals the end of a cycle with a buzzer. It is recommended to wait a few minutes after the cycle ends before unloading to allow dishes to cool and dry better.

Maintenance Features

Filtering System: The filter system, consisting of a coarse filter, flat (main) filter, and micro filter, should be inspected and cleaned regularly to remove trapped food particles and debris. This prevents clogging and ensures optimal washing performance.

Spray Arms: The spray arms should be cleaned regularly to prevent hard water chemicals from clogging the jets and bearings. They can be removed by unscrewing a nut, washed with soapy water, and cleaned with a soft brush.

Dishwasher Care:

Control Panel: Clean with a lightly dampened cloth.
Exterior: Use a good appliance polish wax. Avoid sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners.
Door: Clean the edge around the door with a soft, warm, damp rag. Avoid spray cleaners, abrasive agents, or paper towels on the door panel to prevent damage.
Seals: Periodically clean the seals with a damp sponge to prevent odors caused by trapped food.

Protect Against Freezing: If the dishwasher is left in an unheated place during winter, it is recommended to cut off electrical power, turn off the water supply, disconnect and drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve, and remove the filter from the tub to use up any remaining water in the sump.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide with error codes (E1-E7) and possible causes, as well as common problems and their remedies, such as cloudiness on glassware, spots on dishes, and issues with detergent dispensing. It advises users to contact customer service for assistance if problems persist.
