DETAILED INFORMATION
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on
the machine’s functional components.
It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and must be
lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap
(anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir
right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unu-
sual for a little water to leak out.
3. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir
with water.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into
the container during the wash program (this could damage the water
softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the proce-
dure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid
dispenser A should be lled when the RINSE AID
REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the
appliance tub.
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the
detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for
pre-washing directly inside the tub.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button,
because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results
are always achieved.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.
WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-
venting scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning e-
ciency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required
to rell salt container when empty.
Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regen-
eration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.
Regeneration process starts in nal rinse and nishes in drying phase, be-
fore cycle ends.
Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water;
Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

    Why is my Hotpoint Dishwasher not filling with water?
    • K
      Kathleen KaneAug 16, 2025
      If your Hotpoint Dishwasher isn't filling, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that there is water in the water supply and that the tap is fully open. Another possible cause is a bent inlet hose; make sure the inlet hose is not bent, then reprogram the dishwasher and reboot it. Finally, the sieve in the water inlet hose might be clogged. After checking and cleaning it, turn the dishwasher off and on, then restart a new program.

      Allison LopezAug 18, 2025
      If your Hotpoint dishwasher doesn't start or respond, here are a few things to check: * Make sure the dishwasher is properly plugged into the socket. * If there was a power outage, open the dishwasher door, press the START/Pause button, and close the door within 4 seconds (the dishwasher doesn't restart automatically after a power failure). * Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a click. * If the door was opened for more than 4 seconds during a cycle, press START/Pause and close the door within 4 seconds. * If the display shows 9 or 12 and the On/Off LED is blinking rapidly, turn the appliance off and on again. If the problem continues, unplug the dishwasher for 1 minute, then plug it back in.

    What to do if my Hotpoint H2IHKD526UK cycle prematurely finishes?
    • D
      Douglas RivasAug 30, 2025
      If your Hotpoint Dishwasher cycle is finishing too early, here are a couple of things to check: 1. Ensure the drain hose is positioned at the correct height and is not siphoning into the home sewage system. If siphoning is occurring, install an air admittance valve. 2. Check the water supply for any leaks or issues that might be allowing air to enter.

      Matthew HernandezSep 2, 2025
      If your Hotpoint dishwasher is finishing prematurely and the On/Off LED is blinking rapidly, it might be because: * The drain hose is positioned too low or siphoning into the home sewage system; check the height of the drain hose. Install an air admittance valve if siphoning is occurring. * There is air in the water supply; check for leaks or other issues.
