Main wash
Auto half load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system.
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way
compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst
respecting the environment .
Sorting the laundry
– It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and detergent and
not dry-clean items.
– If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
– Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: follow
the labelling in the garments.
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
– Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
– Woollen items must be labelled with the «Pure New Wool» symbol to be washed in the
machine
, and must also be labelled «non-matting» or «machine washable».
– Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.
Do not wash
P
Programme selector
The washing machine has 5 different programme groups according to type of wash,
temperature, spin speeds and duration for handling the various types of fabric and their level
of soiling (see wash programme guide on page 52-53).
1. COTTONS
(Bawe∏na)
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing. With spin cycles in
between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry
is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.
2. SYNTHETICS and mixed fabrics
(Syntetyki)
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water
levels. The delicate action spin minimises creasing.
3. DELICATES
(Delikatne)
This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises of alternate periods of activity
and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics, such as Pure New Wool.
Wash and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results.
4. WOOLLENS
(We∏na)
The programmes are designed for maximum washing at the temperature most suitable to
your woollen garments and their degree of soiling. Always read the wash advice label for the
most suitable temperature.
5. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES - 29 minute Speed Wash, Handwash and Sportswear
SPEED WASH
This washing machine also has a SPEED WASH programme option (Programme 26). This
programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 29 minutes,
with a maximum load of 2 kg and is recommended for lightly soiled items. When selecting the
Speed Wash programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.
HAND WASH
This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle (programme 25). This
programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand Wash only” on
the fabric care label. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30° C and concludes
with 2 rinses, one for fabric conditioner and a slow spin.
SPORTSWEAR
The washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme (programme 24). It is specially
designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on hotter programmes
and is designed to remove the soiled and staining created by participation in sports activities.
This programme starts with a cold prewash that breaks down and loosens any excess dirt
and then washes at a cool 30°C, rinses and spins slowly for the best care of your heavily
soiled, delicate garments.
Hoover has given sports items their own wash care programme.
