Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you
put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the
prewash option for normally soiled laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature.
ARIEL - Chosen and recommended by Hoover
When we produce a new washing machine we subject it to every test possible. And one of the
most important tests is the one that enables our experts to identify the most suitable detergent
for solving laundry problems. Ariel was able to meet our needs: to make the washing machine
function efficiently, not compromise the machine.s lifespan and produce the best wash results.
Consistently excellent results, which was the main aim of the test we carried out, determined
our choice and our recommendation. The prime function of a detergent that answers all
washing requirements is to work with the water to remove dirt from fabrics, holding it in
suspension until it is removed when the water is pumped out, and to control the amount of
foam forming in the washing machine, without damaging the fibres of the items being washed.
Ariel fully satisfies all these requirements, as it contains high quality elements, the result of the
most advanced research, ensuring excellent results under all conditions.

to disengage (only if door locked indicator is ON) for
the door locking device to disengage
