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.
!
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.

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.

Mix 30': this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soi-
led 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 (
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.

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 con-
sumption 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 washing ma-
chine 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.
