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: see “
Table of
programmes and wash cycles
”.
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°C:
(programme
5
) ideal for lightly
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
11
to remove major
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Shirts:
use the programme
12
to wash shirts in different
fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the best
possible care.
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.

to wash very delicate
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and
sequins.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains

and set the “

recommend turning the garments inside out before
