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.
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
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

Garments requiring special care
Lingerie: for undergarments of any colour, in any
fabric. Use special wash cycle 11.
Silk: use special wash cycle 12 to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside
the bag provided. Use wash cycle 12.
Wool: Hotpoint 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 13 therefore
offers complete peace of mind when washing
woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load
1.5 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.
Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing
machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry
in a single cycle called Bed&Bath that optimises
the use of fabric softener while saving both time
and electricity. We recommend that you use a
powder detergent.
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 per-
forms the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance,
we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
