Detergent dispenser drawer

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.

Delicates: use programme to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle and set the “Delicate” level from option .

We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate

garments for best results.

When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.

If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B. 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 values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain : this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint is the first washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing per- formance and consumption of energy and water (M1127)

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Ready to Wear 45’: select programme (2nd press of the

button) for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cot- ton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.

To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre- treat cuffs, collars and stains.

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 washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal- ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
