Hoover HDPN 1L390OW-80 User Manual

To load dishes efficiently, place larger items like pots and pans at the sides and back of the lower rack. Ensure that plates and bowls face inward and downward. Utilize the upper rack for glasses, cups, and smaller items, making sure they are secured to prevent movement during the wash cycle.
If the dishwasher does not start, check if the door is fully closed and latched. Ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. If the problem persists, consult the user manual to verify if a delayed start setting was inadvertently activated.
To clean the filter, first remove the lower rack. Twist the filter assembly counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse the filter under running water and use a soft brush to remove debris. Reinsert the filter and turn it clockwise to secure it in place.
Residue can occur if the detergent is not dissolving properly. Ensure the water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C) for optimal detergent performance. Additionally, avoid overloading the dishwasher and check that the spray arms are not obstructed.
Check the drain hose for kinks and ensure it is not clogged. Inspect the sink drain for blockages. Clean the dishwasher's filter and ensure the air gap (if installed) is clear. If issues persist, the drain pump may need servicing.
Regularly clean the door seals with a damp cloth to prevent mold build-up. Inspect and clean the spray arms to ensure they are not blocked. Check and clean the filters monthly, and run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove limescale and odors.
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the start button for a few seconds until the indicator lights blink. This will cancel the current cycle. Wait a few minutes before selecting a new cycle and pressing start to resume operation.
The dishwasher requires electricity to operate, so it cannot be used during a power outage. Once power is restored, you may need to reset the dishwasher and select a new cycle.
Open the rinse aid dispenser by turning the cap counterclockwise. Adjust the dial inside to the desired setting, typically between 1 and 6, depending on water hardness. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks.
Ensure that dishes are loaded correctly and not clinking against each other. Check for any loose items in the dishwasher. Inspect the spray arms for obstructions and ensure they can rotate freely. If noises persist, a service technician may need to inspect the motor or pump.
