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.
