General .

•To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an automatic standby system. Press 'ON/OFF' button for 3 seconds to activate the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.

•Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!

Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above.

BHWD149 specifications

The Hotpoint BHWD149 is a highly efficient washer dryer, designed to meet the needs of modern families seeking performance and versatility in their laundry routine. This appliance combines the functionality of a washing machine and a dryer in one compact unit, making it an excellent choice for those with limited space.

One of the standout features of the BHWD149 is its impressive washing capacity. With a load capacity of 9 kg for washing and 6 kg for drying, this model accommodates larger loads, allowing users to tackle more laundry in a single session. This is particularly beneficial for busy households where time-saving is a priority.

In terms of washing performance, the BHWD149 boasts a range of washing programs tailored to different fabric types and laundry requirements. From delicate items to heavily soiled work clothes, users can easily select the appropriate cycle, ensuring their clothes receive the optimal care.

Energy efficiency is another critical characteristic of the Hotpoint BHWD149. It is designed to minimize electricity usage while delivering exceptional cleaning results.

This option uses higher temperatures and additional rinses to remove allergens and dirt effectively, ensuring that laundry is not only clean but safe for sensitive skin.

Another notable technology is the 'Direct Injection' feature, which pre-mixes the detergent with water before it enters the drum. This results in a more effective wash, as the detergent penetrates fabrics better and cleans more efficiently, even at lower temperatures.

To enhance user convenience, the Hotpoint BHWD149 comes equipped with a digital display, allowing users to monitor and adjust settings with ease. The machine is also designed with a delay start option, enabling users to set the washing cycle to begin at their convenience, making it easier to manage busy schedules.
