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:

Eco Wash cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need of heating water and it’s an advantage both to your
energy bill and the environment!
These innovative Eco programmes (Cotton, Synthetics and Fast Wash) are available for various fabrics and
different quantity of garment; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperatu-
re and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads.
Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results with Eco programmes we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
Eco Cycles have been tested and validated by an external laboratory (CTTN-IREN) in terms of performance and
consumptions.

Personalisation
Setting the temperature
GB
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the
maximum value set for each wash cycle.
Setting the spin speed
Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the selected wash cycle.
The maximum spin speeds available for each wash cycle are as follows:
Wash cycles
Cottons
Synthetics
Wool
Maximum spin speed
1600 rpm
800 rpm
600 rpm
drain only
Silk
The spin speed may be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting the symbol
.
The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed which is higher than the
maximum speed set for each wash cycle.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washing machine will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in
conjunction with the selected 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
phase will remain lit in a fixed
manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the REDUCED CREASES button.
For the Silk (10) and Lingerie (8) wash cycles, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking, the
REDUCED CREASES and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash (orange) and the RINSE phase will remain lit in
a fixed manner. To drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the
REDUCED CREASES button.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, B, C.
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).
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 11, 12, 13, B, C.
Extra rinse
By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is
guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 13, B, C.
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.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B, C.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Garments requiring special care
GB
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 a build up on the inside of your appliance
and contribute to environmental pollution.
Baby cycle: this wash cycle 6 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.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because
these create too much foam.
Open the detergent

Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in
various fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the
garments and minimises the formation of creases.
Lingerie cycle: for undergarments of any colour,
in any fabric. Use special wash cycle 8.
! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
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 9 therefore
offers complete peace of mind when washing
woollen garments in the washing machine (max. load
1,5 kg) and guarantees optimal performance.
Silk: use special wash cycle 10 to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delica-
te clothes.
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.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 10.
• 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. 6 kg
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 machine per-
forms the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage improved load distribution and balance,
we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg
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

• 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

• 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
GB
• 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
1
by raising it and pulling
it out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2
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.
