Detergent dispenser drawer

GB
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.

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: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. 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.
