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 a 

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 because these 

create too much foam.

Open the detergent di-

spenser 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 com-

partment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: 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 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. 

extra compartment 4: Bleach

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

”.

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

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain  :

this programme 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.

Cotton Standard 20°

:

 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.

Bed&Bath:

 use programme   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.  

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

mark is a Certification trade mark.

Delicates:

 use programme   to wash very delicate 

garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and 

sequins.

To wash 

silk

 garments and 

curtains

 select the cycle 

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  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.
