BAG FOR QUILTS, CURTAINS AND DELICATE
GARMENTS
Hotpoint has made it easier for you to wash even the
most valuable and delicate garments in complete
confidence thanks to the special bag which protects
the laundry (this is supplied with the machine).
We recommend that the bag is used every time you
wash
quilts and padded items with an outer layer
made using synthetic material.
