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 values listed in the
“Table of wash cycles”
,
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
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°:
use this cycle
5
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
7
to remove major allergens
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Baby:
use the special wash cycle
8
to 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.
Steam Refresh:
this programme refreshes garments
by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (1.5 kg,
roughly 3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty)
and select programme
9
. The garments will be damp once
the cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them
to dry. The
9
programme makes ironing easier.
!
Not recommended for
wool
or
silk
garments.
!
Do not add softeners or detergents.
!
The indicator light for the “
” option will switch on when
this cycle is selected.
Bed&Bath:
use programme
12
to wash bed linen
and towels in one single cycle: it optimises softener
performance and helps you save time and energy. We
recommend the use of powder 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.
(M1127)
Delicates:
use programme
14
to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
To wash
silk
garments and
curtains
select the cycle
14
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.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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.
