Detergents and laundry
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 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.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and
pour in the detergent or
washing additive, as
follows.
! 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. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1.5 kg
Silk: 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 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle
.
Wool: Hotpoint is the only washer dryer
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
washer dryer, even those which state hand wash
only
on the label. Wash cycle therefore
offers complete peace of mind when washing
woollen garments in the washer dryer (max. load 1.5
kg) and guarantees optimal performance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibra-
tions and to distribute the load in a uniform man-
ner, 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 pro-
cess instead of spinning. To encourage improved
load distribution and balance, we recommend small
and large garments are mixed in the load.
