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.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-
partment 4 has been removed.

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

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.
Delicates: use programme
garments having strasses or 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.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint/Ariston
machine has been tested and approved by The Wool-
mark 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 machi-
ne. Hotpoint/Ariston is the first washing machine brand
to be approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel
Care- Platinum for its washing performance and consum-
ption of energy and water. (M1127)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade
mark is a Certification trade mark.
Ready to Wear: select programme
for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and
Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash
and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-
treat cuffs, collars and stains.

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.
