Special features

!

Not all special features can be used on all programmes - (see Programme Table for option availability).

Fast Wash: 

The Fast Wash programmes are designed for lightly soiled loads delivering quick results for smaller loads, using 
less energy. For loads with stains or increased soil levels which require deeper cleaning, use the standard or 
intensive wash cycles.

Cool Wash:  30˚C 

A low temperature wash which delivers cleaning results comparable to the intensive 40˚C cotton programme but
at a lower temperature for more colour sensitive garments and using less energy.

Handwash: 

A gentle action programme for delicate items and items labelled as hand wash only.
Not for Wool or Silk garments (use the special programmes for those materials).

Handwash Wool Approved:

The wool wash cycle on Hotpoint machines has been tested and approved by the Woolmark Company for washing
garments labelled as ‘hand wash’, provided that the ‘garments’ are washed in accordance to the instructions 
issued by the manufacturer of this machine.

This cycle is selected by turning the Programme Selector dial to the wool programme and selecting the ‘Wash 
Enhance’ option modifier (

see Programme Table and Option Modifiers

).
