Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of 

detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-

rily 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 di-

spenser drawer and pour 

in the detergent or washing 

additive, as follows.

compartment 1: 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 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 3: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash 

cycles

Pour the bleach into extra compartment

 3

; pour the deter-

gent and softener into the corresponding compartments, 

then select one of the abovementioned wash cycles.

This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton 

garments.

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  wash 

cycles”.

Garments requiring special care

Silk:

 use special wash cycle 

9 

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 

9

.

Wool:

 The wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint/Ariston 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/Ariston 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. (M1126) 

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is 

a Certification trade mark.

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 

washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of 

spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal-

ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed 

in the load.

Anti-crease

This function interrupts the wash programme, and the 

washing is left to soak in water before the appliance is 

drained. 

It can only be used with programme 

9

 (Silk/Curtains) and 

helps to prevent the formation of creases. 

To complete the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
