Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good 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.
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser 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
compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach
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:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1.5 kg
Silk: max. 2 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles
Mix 30:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
Mix 15:
this wash cycle was designed to wash
lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes
and therefore saves both energy and time. By
selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C), it is possible to
wash different fabrics together (except for wool and
silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Baby:
this wash cycle can be used to remove the
soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring that
all detergent is removed from nappies in order to
prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering
allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce
the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of
water and optimising the effect of special disinfecting
additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly
rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases;
to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Silk:
use special wash cycle to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains:
fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle .
Wool:
Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washing machine
manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious
Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by
the Woolmark Company, which means that all
woollen garments may be washed in the washing
machine, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers
complete peace of mind when washing woollen
garments in the washing machine (max. load 1.5 kg)
and guarantees optimal performance.
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.
