Detergents and laundry

Detergent

The type and quantity of detergent required depend on

the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk,

etc.), as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the

level of soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.

Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage

and help to protect the environment: although they are

biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which

alter the balance of nature.

We recommend the following:

 use powder detergents for white cotton garments and

pre-washing.

 use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and

for all low-temperature wash cycles.

 use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk

garments.

The detergent should be poured into the relevant

compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside

the drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter

case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with

pre-wash cycle.

 Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

 Shake out the garments before loading them into the

machine.

 Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the

washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you

separate the coloured garments from the white ones;

 Empty all 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 pillowcase 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

1 pair of jeans 400-500 g

1 shirt 150-200 g

Washing recommendations

Shirts: use the special Shirts wash cycle to wash

shirts in different fabrics and colours to guarantee they

receive the best possible care.

Jeans: use the special Jeans

wash cycle for all

denim garments; turn inside out before washing and use

a liquid detergent.

Baby: use the special Baby

wash cycle to remove

the remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while

removing all traces of detergent from nappies in order to

prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergic

reactions. 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 end the cycle

press the START/PAUSE button.

Silk: use the special Silk

wash cycle to wash all silk

garments. We recommend the use of special detergent

which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: use the Silk

wash cycle. These should

be folded and placed inside the bag provided.

Wool: Hotpoint is the only washing machine brand to

have been awarded the prestigious Woolmark Platinum

Care endorsement (M.0508) by the Woolmark Company,

which means that all woollen garments may be washed

in the washing machine, even those which state hand

wash only

on the label. The Wool wash cycle can

be used to wash all woollen garments in the washing

machine while guaranteeing optimum performance.

Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of

which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes

padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the

special Duvets

wash cycle. We recommend that

duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded

inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total

volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results,

we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and

placed inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use

the bag provided and set the wash cycle to Duvets

Bedlinen and towels: use the Bed & Bath

cycle

to wash laundry from all over the house; this optimises

fabric softener performance and helps you save time and

energy. We recommend the use of powder detergent.

Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with

solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with

pre-wash cycle.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations

before every spin 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

machine 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.
