HISENSE HS673C91BZA (01) PDF DOCUMENT

Please adhere to the following safety instructions when using your HISENSE HS673C91BZA dishwasher:

• Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place.

• The HISENSE HS673C91BZA is designed for 15 standard place settings.

• Only use the dishwasher for its specified purpose of washing household dishes.

• Do not load the dishwasher door or baskets with anything other than dishes.

• To prevent a tripping hazard, do not leave the door open.

• Push the baskets in completely to avoid the risk of the dishwasher tripping over.

• Use only dishwasher detergent. Washing up liquid is not suitable.

• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced capabilities if they have been given supervision or instruction. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.

• This dishwasher is for household use only. All other uses are prohibited.

• Never place dishes with solvent residues in the dishwasher due to the risk of explosion. Do not wash dishes containing ash, wax, or lubricants.

• Knives and other sharp utensils must be loaded with their points down or placed horizontally.

Children must be watched and not allowed to use or play with the dishwasher. Be especially vigilant when the door is open as some detergent may remain inside. Always start the dishwasher immediately after adding detergent.

WARNING! Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive!

WARNING! Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Seek medical attention if swallowed. Check that the detergent compartment is empty after the completion of the wash cycle.

The overflow guard on the HISENSE HS673C91BZA starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display. If this happens, turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. To avoid water leakage, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water tap has been turned off.

Store the HISENSE HS673C91BZA dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances in very cold weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back. Before transporting a used dishwasher or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed from the machine.

To achieve good dishwashing results, your HISENSE HS673C91BZA needs soft water. Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes. A water supply with a hardness in excess of 4 °dH must be softened by the built-in water softener.

There are two ways to check the water hardness:

Method 1: Contact your local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Method 2: Use the test paper included with the product.

1. Take the test paper out of its aluminum package.

2. Completely immerse the reaction area of the test paper into stationary test liquid, then immediately take it out.

3. Let the test paper stand for 15 seconds, then compare the color on the reaction area with the colorimetric card to determine the hardness range.

Based on the hardness, select the recommended setting in the dishwasher’s menu (see Settings section for how to access it). It is important that this setting is correct. If the water hardness exceeds 21 °dH, an external water softener is recommended.

When the rinse aid or salt needs topping up, the corresponding symbol will light up on the display of your HISENSE HS673C91BZA.

To top up with rinse aid:

Using rinse aid helps achieve faster drying and a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes. Top up if you have selected a Rinse aid setting of 01-05.

1. Press the elliptical protrusion above the lid while pulling upwards to open the rinse aid compartment lid.

2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.

3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.

4. Close the lid firmly.

To top up with salt:

Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected a Water hardness setting of 01-04.

1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise.

2. Place the supplied funnel in the top-up hole. The first time you fill it, pour in about 1 L of water.

3. Add enough special dishwasher salt to fill the compartment (max. 750 gram).

4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.

WARNING! To avoid rust stains, a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt. Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment as this will destroy the water softener.

• Do not rinse under running water: Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher to save energy and water.

• Choose a green detergent: Read the environmental declaration on the packaging.

• Run a fully loaded dishwasher: Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program.

• Run programs at a lower temperature: If dishes are only slightly dirty, select a program with a low temperature.

• Select Eco 45° program: This is the most effective program for normally soiled dishes in terms of combined energy and water consumption.

• Select Smart Dry option: This option automatically opens the door for better drying. Wait until the program has ended and dishes have cooled before unloading.

• Connect to cold water: Connect to the cold water supply if your building is heated using oil, electricity, or gas.

• Connection to hot water supply: Connect to the hot water supply (max. 60 °C) if your building uses an energy-efficient heating source like district heating or solar power to reduce energy consumption.

Load dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption.

• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards.

• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.

• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.

• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray.

• Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely after loading.

Fragile dishes: Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. Exercise caution with handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood, and plastic. Look for the “Dishwasher safe” marking.

The HISENSE HS673C91BZA dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket.

Top Cutlery Tray:

This tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, and similar items. It is comprised of three parts that can be moved sideways to better accommodate dishes in the upper basket.

Upper Basket:

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right. To raise or lower the upper basket:

1. Pull out the upper basket.

2. Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up.

3. If the basket is raised while in the top position, it will drop to the bottom position. Note that both sides of the basket must always be set to the same height.

Lower Basket:

Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, and pots in the lower basket. Cutlery can be placed in the cutlery holder. The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots and bowls.

Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging and use doses suitable for your water hardness.

Detergent Compartment:

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. Slide the cover to open. There are compartments for prewash and main wash detergent. If using powder or liquid detergent, you can add a small amount to the prewash compartment. After adding detergent, slide the lid up and press to close.

NOTE: Use only dishwasher detergent. Washing up liquid will create foam and prevent the dishwasher from operating effectively.

All-in-one Detergent:

If using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid, activate the TAB setting in the dishwasher’s menu. Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes); use powder or liquid detergent instead. For optimal washing and drying, using normal detergent with separately dispensed rinse aid is recommended.

NOTE: The control panel only reacts to use when the door is closed.

On/Off:

Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. Press the On/Off button. Also, turn on the water tap if it is turned off. When a program is not running, press the On/Off button to turn the dishwasher off. If a program is running, press and hold the Start/Pause/Stop button for three seconds to shut it down, or press it to pause, then press the On/Off button to turn it off.

Child Lock (Hold Quick and Connect for 3 sec.):

To prevent children from stopping a program, you can activate the child lock. Once a program has started, press and hold the Quick and Connect buttons simultaneously for three seconds. ‘CL’ will be shown on the display when the control panel is pressed. To unlock, press and hold the same two buttons for three seconds.

Press the desired program button on your HISENSE HS673C91BZA until its indicator light is activated.

• Auto 45-65°: The dishwasher measures how dirty the dishes are and adjusts water consumption and temperature accordingly. When newly installed, the program needs to be run five times before it is fully adapted.

• Eco 45°: Suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective in terms of combined energy and water consumption.

• 1h 65°: A quick program for slightly dried leftovers. Not for burnt food. The Smart Dry option is important for the best drying results with this program.

• Intensive 70°: A program with a high temperature for dissolving grease on very dirty dishes like pans and casserole dishes.

• Glass 40°: A gentle program with a low temperature for fragile items like crystal/glass. Use a small amount of detergent and place items so they don’t touch.

• Hygiene 72°: Ideal for items needing extra hygiene, like baby bottles and cutting boards. The temperature is high in both the main wash and final rinse.

• Quick (Hold for 3 sec.): A shorter wash for lightly soiled loads that do not need drying. Press and hold the Quick button for 3 seconds to activate.

• Self-clean (Hold for 3 sec.): A self-cleaning program for the dishwasher tub, spray arms, and pipes. Run with no dishes, using normal detergent or citric acid. Press and hold the Self-clean button for 3 seconds until ‘CLn’ is shown on the display.

Press the button for the desired option to activate it. Available options vary between programs.

• Speed+: Shortens the program time but uses more energy and water. Not available for Auto, Glass, Hygiene, Self-clean, or Quick programs.

• Smart Dry: The dishwasher door opens automatically at the end of the cycle to improve drying. Wait until the program has finished and dishes have cooled before unloading. Do not block the door when it opens. Not available for Intensive, Glass, Hygiene, Self-clean, or Quick programs.

• Upper Wash: Only the upper spray arm is activated. The lower spray arm will not operate. Not available for Auto or Self-clean programs.

• Lower Wash: Only the lower spray arm is activated. The upper spray arm will not operate. Not available for Auto or Self-clean programs.

• Delay Start: The dishwasher will start 1-24 hours after you press the Start button. Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the desired number of hours. Press Start/Pause/Stop to begin the countdown. To cancel, press and hold the Start/Pause/Stop button for three seconds.

• Connect (WiFi): Allows for remote control via the ConnectLife app. To remote start, close the door, press the Connect button, then press the Start button. ‘APP’ will flash on the display.

• Start/Pause/Stop: Press the Start/Pause/Stop button to start the selected program. The display will start counting down. Press it again to pause.

• Stopping or changing a program: To interrupt or change a program after starting, press and hold the Start/Pause/Stop button for three seconds. If the detergent dispenser lid has opened, you will need to add new detergent. Close the door, select a new program, and press Start.

• If you want to load more dishes: Press the Start/Pause/Stop button to pause the program. Open the door, add the dishes, and close the door. Press the Start/Pause/Stop button to resume. You should not load more dishes if the lid of the detergent dispenser has already opened.

• Once the program has finished: “End” appears on the display, and a buzzer will sound. The dishwasher switches off automatically. Shut off the water tap after each use.

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them. For the best drying results:

• Fully load the dishwasher.

• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that rinse water can run off.

• Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage setting.

• Activate the Smart Dry option.

• Allow the dishes to cool before unloading.

Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Consumption values vary depending on the temperature of the incoming water, room temperature, load size, and selected additional functions. The values for the Eco 45° program are accurate; others are indicative only.
