Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily 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 because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-
partment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: 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 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach

Garments requiring special care
Wool: The wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint-Ariston
machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark
Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand wa-
shable 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-
Ariston 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. (M1126)
Delicates: use programme 10 to wash very delicate gar-
ments having strasses or sequins.
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.
To wash
silk garments and curtains select cycle 10
and then function ; the machine will end the cycle
while the laundry is soaking and the indicator light
will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be
removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the
button
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.
