Need help?Do you have a question about the Hoover HLSI 550GT and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Hoover HLSI 500GT dishwasher. It emphasizes safety, efficiency, and optimal performance through detailed explanations and helpful tips.
The Hoover HLSI 500GT is a domestic dishwasher designed to clean kitchen utensils and dishes efficiently. It features a water softener unit to counteract hard water, ensuring spot-free results. The appliance offers a variety of wash programmes tailored to different levels of dirtiness and types of dishes, including "IMPULSE" programmes that optimize consumption and noise. A "DELAY START" function allows users to program the start time from 1 to 23 hours, offering flexibility. The "SUPER ECO" option provides energy and time savings, particularly for light soil washes and slightly wet dishes. "AUTOMATIC" programmes utilize a dirt sensor to adjust wash parameters based on water murkiness, ensuring optimal cleaning while conserving resources. The dishwasher is equipped with a Watercontrol system, an anti-overflow safety device that automatically discharges excess water in case of a leak, protecting against water damage.
The dishwasher's design focuses on user-friendliness and adaptability. The upper basket is adjustable, allowing for the accommodation of larger plates (up to 31 cm) in the lower basket when the upper basket is in its raised position. Mobile racks in the upper basket can be adjusted to upright or lowered positions, suitable for various items like cups, glasses with stems, and small plates. The lower basket includes a special adjustable central rack for stable and optimum loading of non-standard sized dishes. A plastic cutlery holder is provided for organized placement of cutlery, ensuring it does not obstruct the spray arms.
For detergent, the dishwasher requires specific powder, liquid, or tablet forms. The detergent container is easily accessible and refills automatically after each wash. The amount of detergent should be adjusted based on the dishes' dirtiness and type. The appliance also features a rinse aid dispenser, which automatically releases rinse aid during the final cycle to promote quick drying and prevent spots. The rinse aid regulator can be adjusted from 1 to 6, with 4 being the recommended position, to optimize drying performance based on water hardness.
The control panel includes a digital display, "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button, "DELAY START" button, "SUPER ECO" option button, "ACTION PRO" buttons, "START"/"RESET" button, and "ON/OFF" button. Indicator lights for "DELAY START," "OPTION SELECTION," "ACTION PRO," "SALT EMPTY," and "RINSE AID EMPTY" provide clear status updates. The "ACTION PRO" buttons allow users to modify wash intensity and time, offering 8 additional wash cycles beyond the 4 main programmes. The memory function saves the last used program, simplifying repeated use.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dishwasher's longevity and performance. The filter system, consisting of a central container, a flat gauze, and a micro filter, should be checked and cleaned after each wash to ensure excellent results. The filter unit is easily removable by turning the handle anticlockwise, and the central container is detachable for convenient cleaning under running water. It is important to reassemble the filters correctly and ensure the gauze filter is properly positioned to avoid adverse effects on efficiency. The dishwasher should never be operated without its filters.
The water softener unit requires periodic refilling with regenerating salt, indicated by a light on the control panel. When refilling, it's essential to use only salt specifically designed for dishwashers to prevent damage to the softener. After adding salt, running a complete washing cycle or a COLD RINSE programme is recommended.
For routine cleaning, it is advised to clean the dishwasher outside with a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. The door seal should be regularly wiped to remove food remains. If limescale deposits are observed, a vinegar solution can be used to clean the interior. The spray arms should be removed and washed under running water to clear any blockages.
The manual also provides a comprehensive guide for identifying and resolving minor faults, such as the machine not starting, not drawing water, or not discharging water, as well as issues with washing or drying performance.
