ensure that any blanks

or removable ends have

been taken off the

spigot.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA

approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,

and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is

lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement

is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If it is place over the

edge of a basin or sink

be sure the free end

of the hose should not

be underwater.

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of

the correct colour as indicated by the coloured

marking or the colour that is embossed in words on

the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained

directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug

and you should wish to re-route the mains cable

through partitions, units etc., please ensure that

either:

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have

the same diameter as the original hose and must

not exceed 150 cm in length.

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-

wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable

outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with

BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the

appliance.

Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a

standpipe, that the end does not go down more

than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down

too far, this may cause the machine to self -

syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you

make the pins unusable so that it cannot be

accidentally inserted into a socket.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

Wash functions

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the

initial phase of the cycle, and because of the

increased cycle duration, this function offers a

high-performance wash.

Mini Load

This function is recommended for when the load of

laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the

maximum recommended load (see Table of wash

cycles).

! It cannot be used in conjunction with the

“Fastwash 30’”,

and “Pump out” programmes.

! It cannot be used with the

wash cycles”.

and “Partial

Timer Saver

Reduces the duration of the wash cycle.

Reduced Creases

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles

will be modified in order to reduce the formation of

creases. At the end of the cycle the washing machine

will perform slow rotations of the drum; the “Reduced

creases” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash

(orange) and the text "END OF CYCLE" will appear on

the display. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE

button or the “Reduced creases” button.

and “Partial

Eco Wash

The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating

the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage

both to the environment and to your energy bill.

Instead, intensified wash action and water

optimisation ensure great wash results in the same

average time of a standard cycle.

For the Silk/Curtains cycle, the machine will end the

cycle while the laundry is soaking; the “Reduced

creases” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash

(orange) and the text "RINSE HOLD" will appear on the

display. To drain the water so that the laundry may be

removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the

usage of a liquid detergent.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Special wash cycles

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.

Fastwash 30’: this wash cycle was designed to

wash lightly soiled 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.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because

these create too much foam.

Silk: use special wash cycle

to wash all silk

garments. We recommend the use of special

detergent which has been designed to wash delicate

clothes.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and

pour in the detergent or

washing additive, as

follows.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle

Wool: Hotpoint is the only washing machine

manufacturer 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. Wash cycle

therefore

offers complete peace of mind when washing

woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load

2 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.

! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).

Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.

compartment 1: Detergent for the wash

cycle (powder or liquid)

Load balancing system

For best results liquid detergent should be poured

in the dispenser immediately before the start of

the programme.

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibra-

tions and to distribute the load in a uniform man-

ner, 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.

compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

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:

Durable fabrics: max. 8 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 2kg

Silk: max. 2 kg

Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and

constructed in accordance with international

safety regulations. The following information is

provided for safety reasons and must therefore be

read carefully.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the

porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to

remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from

the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water

level inside the machine is

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in

accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

lower than the door

opening; if it is not,

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with

wet or damp hands or feet.

remove excess water

using the drain hose,

collecting it in a bucket as

indicated in the figure.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when

unplugging the appliance from the electricity

socket. Hold the plug and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer

while the machine is in operation.

3. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel on

the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure).

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach

extremely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage

the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent

accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms

in an attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group

of two or three people and handle it with the

utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because

the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine,

make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires

that old household electrical appliances must not

be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal

waste stream. Old appliances must be collected

separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce

the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the

figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its

stop position; pull downwards and open the door at

the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are

securely in place before you push it onto the

appliance.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and

electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system

inside the washing machine and help to prevent

leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked

in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pulling it

out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning

pump which does not require any maintenance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there

are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately:

during the wash cycles, water pressure is very

strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Recycling & Disposal Information

As part of Hotpoint's continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right

to use quality, recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children,

remove the door, plug and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts

separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket, and the door

cannot be locked shut.
