Hotpoint AQLF9F 49 U manual Signals for successive refilling, Button

Signals for successive refilling:

When the level of detergent/fabric softener falls below the required level, at the end of the cycle, the first segment of the detergent symbol or the petal of the fabric softener symbol in the bottom left section, will flash slowly on the display. Once the detergent/fabric softener is finished, the first segment of the detergent symbol or the petal of the fabric softener symbol in the lower left section will flash fast to signal that the detergent or fabric softener tank is empty. While the cycle runs, with empty

tanks, the symbols will disappear; at the end of the cycle or during the pause mode, the first segment of the symbol and the petal of the symbol in the lower left section will flash fast. If the tanks are not filled, the successive wash cycles in Auto Dose System will be carried out without any intake of detergent.

￿We suggest adding detergent and fabric softener ONLY after the machine's signal.

￿NEVER mix two different detergents; always clean out the tank before adding a new type of detergent (refer to "Cleaning cycle set by the user").

Using the "Auto Dose System"

If the compartments have been filled with detergent and fabric softener, you may start using the machine (refer to "Running a wash cycle").

Powder detergents for pre-washing and powder additives may only be used in the traditional mode or using the "Auto Dose System", by placing the additives directly inside the drum, preferably in conjunction with the "laundry ball".

Modifying pre-set parameters:

The machine automatically intakes detergent on the basis of the selected programme, wash load and water hardness. However, the amount of detergent/fabric softener used may be modified.

button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude detergent intake.

button: press to increase, decrease and to exclude fabric softener intake.

The level of detergent/fabric softener suggested by the machine is indicated by 3 bars.

Less than 3 bars indicates a lower level of detergent/ fabric softener compared to that suggested by the machine, while more than 3 bars indicates a higher level of detergent/fabric softener.

Cleaning the tanks:

Tank cleaning cycles can either be automatic or pre-set by the user.

Automatic cleaning:

The washing machine carries out an automatic cleaning EN cycle during the rinse cycle if the level of detergent that remains is insufficient for carrying out a

successive wash cycle.

Cleaning cycle set by the user:

Run the cleaning cycle (with empty drum) if you require adding a different product to the previous one or if the tanks have been incorrectly filled (e.g. fabric softener has been erroneously poured into the detergent tank or vice-versa). Press button and hold for approximately 8 sec. to activate cleaning of the detergent tank, button for cleaning the fabric softener tank or button for cleaning both tanks. Once the buzzers with growing intensity are followed by 2 long buzzers and the icons for the detergent,for the fabric softener, for both tanks appear, the cleaning cycle for the selected container will start.

The cleaning cycle lasts about 40' if the tanks are initially empty; if not, the cycle will last longer.

￿￿During the tank cleaning cycle, the symbol will fill gradually from bottom to top and the symbol will fill gradually petal by petal.

"Traditional" mode

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer up to the first stop point (see picture) then pour the amount of detergent and other additives (e.g. bleach) required for a single wash cycle directly into the dispenser.

		1. pre-wash compartment:
1		use powder detergent only.
		2. main wash
2	3	compartment: use powder
		or liquid detergent. If the
		latter is used, we
		recommend pouring it into
		the dispenser immediately
		before starting the washing
		machine and without

running a pre-wash cycle.

3.! Do not pour anything in this compartment.

Tablet detergent or the relative "laundry ball" must be added directly inside the drum. In this event, deactivate

the "Auto Dose System" (by pressing the	button until
the relative vertical bars disappear from the display).
Do not pour any fabric softener as the appropriate
quantity required for each wash cycle will be
automatically extracted.
To deactivate fabric softener intake, press the	button

until the vertical bars disappear from the display. For wool and silk garments, we recommend using a special detergent which must be poured directly into the detergent dispenser (compartment 2).

Running the wash cycle:

Select the programme and the compatible options on the basis of the required need and type of load.
