Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily

make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build

up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the

environment.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create

too much foam.

! 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.

Open up the detergent

dispenser and pour in the

detergent and fabric softe-

ner, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into

the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid excee-

ding the “max” level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during

the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some

water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet

of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the

more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal

amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the

emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see

“Care and maintenance”.

compartment 4: Do not pour detergent into this

compartment.

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 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Cotton Standard 20°: (programme ) ideal 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.

Mix 30’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled

garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves

both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C),

it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool

and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

Mix 15’: this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled

garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves

both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle ( at 30°C),

it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool

and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Baby cycle: this wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling

typically caused by babies, while ensuring that all detergent is

removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of

babies from suffering allergies. 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. At the end of the wash cycle, the

machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation

of creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Silk: use special wash cycle to wash all silk garments.

We recommend the use of special detergent which has been

designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or

mesh bag. Use wash cycle .

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.

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

a Certification trade mark.
