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 1, 2, 6.
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.
