Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent
won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash,
and may in fact cause build up on the interior of
your appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and
fabric softener, as
follows.
?ompartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
Preparing your laundry
Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments
from whites.
Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special items
Curtains:fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme
L which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers:if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out
and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse
cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin
cycle.
Trainers:remove any mud. They can be washed
together with jeans and other tough garments,
but not with whites.
Wool:for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
Woolmark Platinum Care
As gentle as a hand wash.
Hotpoint is the only washer-dryer to have
obtained the prestigious Woolmark
Platinum Care mark of recognition (M.0303) from
The Woolmark Company, which certifies the
machine washing of all woollen garments, even
those whose label states "hand wash only"
(1 kg max.). The "Wool" programme therefore
offers you complete peace of mind when washing
all woollen garments, with great performance
guaranteed every time.
Anti-crease
This function interrupts the wash programme, and
the washing is left to soak in water before the
appliance is drained. It is enabled in programmes
E - F - G - L and Light Rinses.
To conclude the cycle, press the START/RESET
button.
To run the draining cycle alone, set the knob to the
relative symbol
and press the START/RESET
button.
