Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Garments requiring special care

Baby cycle: this wash cycle 6 can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the

detergent.

At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colours.

!Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*). Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.

compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.

compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Preparing the laundry

_ Divide the laundry according to:

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

_ Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

_ Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 6,5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1,5 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1sheet 400-500 g

1pillow case 150-200 g

1tablecloth 400-500 g

1bathrobe 900-1200 g

1towel 150-250 g

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimises the formation of creases. Lingerie cycle: for undergarments of any colour, in any fabric. Use special wash cycle 8.

Wool: Hotpoint is the only washing machine manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means that all woollen garments may be washed in the washing machine, even those which state “hand

wash only” on the label. Wash cycle 9 therefore offers complete peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delica- te clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine per- forms the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
