    ########## Opening the door

    If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.

    Page 4
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 4

    |IMPORTANT For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation.| |---|

    ######### WATER SOFTENER UNIT

    Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

    ########## Regulating the water softener

    The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.

    The settings are listed in the table below:

    |Level|Water hardness|Water hardness|Use of

    regenerating

    salt|Water

    softener

    setting| |---|---|---|---|---| |Level|°fH

    ############# * The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.

    Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows:

    |IMPORTANT The dishwasher must be ALWAYS off before start this procedure.| |---|

  • 1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
  • 2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL a brief audible signal sounds. The current water softener setting level will be shown on the display.
  • 3. Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d0".
  • 4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.

    • |WARNING!

    If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).| |---|

    ######### LOADING THE SALT

  • ■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
  • ■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.
  • ■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.
  • ■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
  • ■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

    • ######### ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BASKET

    If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below:

  • 1. Pull out the upper basket;
  • 2. Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 1).

    • Dishes that are bigger than 14 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.

    ############# ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER POSITION:

  • 1. Grasp the basket from both sides and lift slightly upwards (fig. 2a);
  • 2. Then slowly release into the correct position (fig. 2b).

    • ############# N. B. : NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.3).

    Attention : it is advisable to adjust the basket before loading the dishes.

    ######### LOADING DISHES

    ########## Using the upper basket

  • ■ The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into two positions: upright and lowered.
  • ■ In the lowered position the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded under the racks.
  • ■ In the upright position the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates up to a maximum diameter of 19 cm. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.
  • ■ It is advisable that the plates loaded into the dishwasher together be the same size in order to utilize total basket capacity.
  • ■ Plates may be loaded in a single row or in two rows.
  • ■ It is advisable to load large plates slightly tilted towards the front to facilitate the introduction of the basket into the machine.
  • ■ The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with glasses, cups, small plates and small-sized bowls.

  • ■ The lower basket is fitted with a special adjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4). This permits stable and optimum loading, even when the size and/or shape of the dishes is non-standard.

  • - POSITION “A”: for a standard load, or one that excludes pans, salad bowls and the like.
  • - POSITION “B”: for dishes which, although standard size, have a particular shape (very deep bowls, square dishes or ones without borders etc.).
  • - POSITION “C”: for larger than average flat plates and/or ones with nonstandard shapes (square, hexagonal, oval, pizza dishes etc.).

  • ■ Smaller plates (used for dessert plates for example), can also be placed into the lower basket as shown in the figure 5, with the support flap placed outwards ("B").

    Please load the dishwasher sensibly to ensure the best wash results.

    |IMPORTANT The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load. For loading salt, cleaning filter and for ordinary maintenance, the complete extraction of the basket is necessary.| |---|

    Cutlery basket

    The top of cutlery basket can be removed, for enable various loading options.

    Using the third basket

  • ■ The third basket has been designed to load items such as utensils of small dimensions or flat and long shaped items. By freeing the lower baskets from these objects, loading big-size items becomes more comfortable and easier, making it possible for instance to load plates and pots in the lower basket.
  • ■ The third basket can be loaded with the following items: coffee cups and side plates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls, saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladles and large spoons, graters, and accessories for small appliances (e.g. food mixer blades).

    • |ATTENTION!

    The third basket is NOT designed for loading cutlery. The absence of racks for fixing cutlery could involve such items being found in the lower baskets.| |---|

  • ■ In order to obtain optimum washing results, it is advisable to load items with their underside towards the ceiling of the dishwasher (e.g. small plates and bowls).
  • ■ The third basket can be easily extracted from the dishwasher, by removing the front stops at the beginning of basket tracks.
  • ■ The third basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use. Due to its partition in three tilted sections and absence of fixed racks, it can be loaded in numerous ways: only coffee cups and side plates; or coffee cups mixed with bowls and utensils; or again with side plates, graters, and spoons.

    B| |---|

    ######### LOADING THE DETERGENT

    ########## The detergent

    |IMPORTANT It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form.| |---|

    After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

    “FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained.

    Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher, and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.

    Page 8
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 8

    |![image 12](hlsi500-pdf_images/imageFile12.png)| |---|

    ########## Filling the detergent container

    The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

    Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste.

    |WARNING!

    When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or others do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.| |---|

    |IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.| |---|

    The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B).

    |![image 13](hlsi500-pdf_images/imageFile13.png)

    A| |---|

    14

    ######### TYPES OF DETERGENT

    ########## Detergent tablets

    Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent.

    |IMPORTANT To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.| |---|

    ########## Concentrated detergents

    The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50°C wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher. The 50°C wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results of the 65°C programmes but at a lower temperature.

    ########## Combined detergents

    The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents).

    ########## "ALL in 1" combined detergents

    If you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/ “4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following:

    Page 9
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 9

    ■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s

    instructions given on the packaging;

    ######### LOADING THE RINSE AID

    ########## The rinse aid

    The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

    ########## Filling the rinse aid container

    The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3"). To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

    FULL EMPTY

    dark light

    ########## Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

    The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 4. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

    ######### CLEANING THE FILTERS

    The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:

    a central container that traps the larger particles;

    a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;

    a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse.

  • ■ To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
  • ■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
  • ■ For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).

    • Page 10
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 10

  • ■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary a small brush can be used.
  • ■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.

    • |WARNING!

    After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.

    Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.| |---|

    |IMPORTANT Never use the dishwasher without the filters.| |---|

    ######### PRATICAL HINTS

    ########## How to get really good wash results

  • ■ Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
  • ■ Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
  • ■ If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
  • ■ Place the dishes face downwards.
  • ■ Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
  • ■ After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
  • ■ Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
  • ■ To wash silver properly:

  • a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
  • b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
  • c) keep it separate from other metals.

    • ########## How to make savings

  • ■ If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
  • ■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

    • What not to wash

  • ■ It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
  • ■ Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
  • ■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

    • |IMPORTANT When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.| |---|

    Useful hints

  • ■ In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.

    • Page 11
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 11

  • ■ If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

    • 18

    ######### CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

  • ■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.
  • ■ The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.
  • ■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
  • ■ It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select the light wash.
  • ■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A “5”) are clear.

    • If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:

  • 1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards (fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise). The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2)
  • 2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads;
  • 3. when you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position.

  • ■ Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water.
  • ■ The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.

    ######### PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

    (Use in conjunction with programme guide)

    |IMPORTANT The dishwasher has two very practical functions:

    - the "recommended" programme (which is set in the factory and is ideal for full-load daily use) for quick and accurate selection;
    - the memory function which saves the last programme used, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle, you do not have to re-set the programme every time, thereby saving time and effort.
    | |---|

    ########## "ACTION PRO" buttons

    These buttons allows you to modify the wash intensity, according to how dirty your dishes are, by modifying the wash time and temperature. Pressing the button the intensity of wash will be increased, pressing the button the intensity of wash will be reduced and the wash time will be remarkably shorter. The combination of the buttons with the 4 main wash programmes enable to have 8 additional wash cycles (achieving a total of 12 programmes of washing).

    |IMPORTANT When the dishwasher is switched on, the setting last used will be indicated.| |---|

    ########## Programme settings

    ■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes

    inside the appliance.

    ########## "IMPULSE" programmes

    The “IMPULSE” programmes use an impluse washing technology, which reduces consumption, noise and increases performances.

    |IMPORTANT The “intermittent” working of the washing pump MUST NOT BE considered a malfunction, it is a characteristic of the impulse washing so must be considered a normal function of the programme.| |---|

    ########## Programme interruption

    Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically and the display will flash the remaining time before the end of the cycle. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.

    |WARNING!

    If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.| |---|

  • ■ The display will show the "recommended" programme.
  • ■ At this point a new programme can be set.

    • Page 13
    Hoover H Wash 500 Washing Machine Instructions manual — page 13

    |WARNING! Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.| |---|

    If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

    ########## Programme end

    A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended. Dishes can now be removed and the dishwasher turned off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded for a new cycle.

    ########## Option button

    ########### “SUPER ECO” button

    ########## Changing a running programme

    Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running programme:

  • ■ Open the door.
  • ■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 5 seconds (the running programme will be cancelled).

    • 22

    This button provides an energy and time saving of 25% on average (according to the select cycle) reducing the wash water temperature and the drying time during the final rinse. This programme is recommended for light soil washes, and for slightly wet dishes that are not fully dry, & improved drying results. We advise you to leave the door of the dishwasher half-open at the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air inside the dishwasher.

    ########## "DELAY START" button

    Dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying start from 1 to 23 hours.

    Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:

  • ■ Press the "DELAY START" button ( will appear on the display).
  • ■ Press the button again to increase the delay in hours (each time the button is pressed the delay is increased by 1 hour to a maximum of 23). The “DELAY START” indicator light will turn on.
  • ■ To start the countdown press the "START" button (the “DELAY START” indicator light will start to flash). At the end of the countdown, the programme will automatically start (the “DELAY START” indicator light will turn off).

    • If you wish to see which programme has been selected, press the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.

    Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed start:

  • ■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 5 seconds.
  • ■ The delayed start and the selected programme will be cancelled. The display will show the "recommended" programme.
  • ■ At this point, a new programme and option buttons must be set to start a new programme as indicated in the "PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.

    • The dishwasher is able to signal a series of faults in the display.

If the problem persists, contact Customer Service.|

    ######### WATERCONTROL-SYSTEM

    The water-stop device protects against water damages caused by leaks on the fill hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates a stop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine. This fault is shown by a red sector on the window « Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

    N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.

    If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher. This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.
