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.

! 

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)

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.

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:

  Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg

  Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg

  Wool: max. 1,5 kg 

Silk: max. 1 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

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. 

Standard

Cotton 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.

Anti Allergy:

 use programme   to remove major allergens 

such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Wool:

 the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint/Ariston ma-

chine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark 

Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand wa-

shable 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) 

Delicates:

 use programme   to wash very delicate 

garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and 

sequins. 

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. 

To wash 

Silk

 garments and 

Curtains

, select cycle   and 

then function 

(in this case it will also be possible 

to enable the “Extra Rinse” function); the machine will 

end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the 

indicator light will flash. To drain the water so that the 

laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button 

or the 

 button.

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.
