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.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser 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)
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.
Cotton Standard 20° : this programme is ideal for
heavily soiled cotton loads. The effective performance
levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are
comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a
mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with
repeated and frequent peaks.
Steam Refresh: this programme refreshes garments by
removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (1.5 kg, rou-
ghly 3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and
select programme “ “. The garments will be damp once
the cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them
to dry. The “ “ programme makes ironing easier.
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.
! Do not add softeners or detergents.
! The indicator light for the “Steam Hygiene” option will
switch on when this cycle is selected.
Bed linen and towels: use programme to wash bed
linen and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener
performance and helps you save time and energy. We
recommend the use of powder detergent.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint machine has
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable
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 performance and consumption of energy and
water. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Delicates: use programme (2nd press of the button) to wash
very delicate garments with decorative features, such as
diamantes and sequins.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle
(2nd press of the button) and set the “Delicate” level from
option “Cleaning Action”.
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.
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
washing machine performs the distribution process instead
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are
mixed in the load.
