This Hotpoint semi-integrated dishwasher has a 15-place setting capacity and a MaxiSpace tub. The tub gives more usable loading space than Hotpoint's standard tub, so there is room for wine glasses, large plates, big pots and pans. A removable third rack adds loading flexibility, and the adjustable second rack can be raised or lowered to fit taller or bulkier items.
There are 10 programmes, including Auto Programmes that adjust energy, water and time to how dirty the dishes are. Auto Intensive suits baked-on food, Auto Mixed suits everyday loads and Auto Fast suits lightly soiled items. An Express cycle washes a small, lightly soiled load in 30 minutes. Other options include Intensive, Glass Care, Eco, Soak and Half Load. ActiveDry opens the door near the end of the cycle so air can circulate for a natural dry. It has an A rating for both cleaning and drying performance and an energy class of C.
The delay timer lets you postpone the start by up to 24 hours. Super Silent mode can lower the noise level to 39dB, against 44dB as standard. Aquastop helps protect against leaks, and the dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply of up to 60°C. Indicators for salt and rinse aid, a digital countdown display and feet that adjust from the front make it easy to use and set up.
