Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful 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.
! 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; they 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)

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 listed values, which refer to the

weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 kg

Wool: max. 2 kg

Silk: max. 2 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 wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 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.
Whites: use this cycle 2

to wash white clothes. The

programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white

clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

Cotton Standard 20°: use this cycle 5 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.
Anti Allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens

such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby: use the special wash cycle 8 to remove the remove

the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all

traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the

delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. The

cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria

by using a greater quantity of water and optimising

the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the

detergent.
Steam Refresh: this programme refreshes garments

by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (1.5 kg,

roughly 3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty)

and select programme 9. The garments will be damp once

the cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them

to dry. The 9 programme makes ironing easier.

! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

! Do not add softeners or detergents.

! The indicator light for the “

” option will switch on when

this cycle is selected.
Bed&Bath: use programme 12 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)

Delicates: use programme 14 to wash very delicate

garments having strasses or sequins.

To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 14

and set the “Delicate” level from option

.

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

before every spin 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.
