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
”.

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.
Anti Allergy:
use programme
6
to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby:
use the special wash cycle
7
to remove the remove
the soiling typically caused by babies, while removing all
traces of detergent from nappies in order to prevent the
delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic reactions. 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.
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.

Delicates:
use programme
9
to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains
select the cycle
9
and
set the “
Delicate
” level from option
. 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.
Cotton Standard 20°:
(programme
11
) ideal for heavily
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.
Eco cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the
need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your
energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco
programmes (Eco Cottons
12
, Eco Synthetics
13
and
Eco Fast 30’
14
) are available for various fabrics and
different quantity of garment; they have been designed to
guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature
and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads. Eco
Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash
action, water optimization and are carried out in the same
average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing
results with Eco Cycles we recommend the usage of a
liquid detergent.
