Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform
manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.
When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed
than the set frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.
The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser
Special items
G B
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent
won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash,
and may in fact cause build up on the interior of
your appliance and even pollute the environment.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme
11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out
and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse
cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin
cycle.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and
fabric softener, as
follows.
Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed
together with jeans and other tough garments,
but not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.

As gentle as a hand wash.
Hotpoint sets a new standard of superior
performance that has been endorsed by
The Woolmark Company with the prestigious
Woolmark Platinum Care brand. Look for the
Woolmark Platinum Care logo on the washing
machine to ensure you can safely and effectively
wash wool garments labelled as "hand wash"
(M.0303):
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash
cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
Set programme 10 for all "Hand wash"
(max 1,5 kg) garments, using the appropriate
detergent.
Preparing your laundry
• Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments
from whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1,5 kg

Precautions and advice
! The washing machine was designed and built in
compliance with the applicable international
safety regulations. The following information is
provided for your safety and should consequently
be read carefully.
recovery and recycling of the materials they
GB
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.
Consumers should contact their local authority
or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.
General safety
• This appliance has been designed for non-
professional, household use and its functions
must not be changed.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
• This washing machine should only be used by
adults and in accordance with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your
appliance door, this is because thanks to the
latest Hotpoint technology, your washing machine
only needs less than half the amount of water to
get the best results: an objective reached to
respect the environment.
• Never touch the washing machine when
barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull
the plug out yourself.
Saving on detergent, water, energy and time
• To avoid wasting resources, the washing
machine should be used with a full load. A full
load instead of two half loads allows you to save
up to 50% on energy.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the
appliance is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach
very high temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this
could damage the safety lock mechanism
designed to prevent any accidental openings.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save
on detergent, time, water and between 5 and
15% energy.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any
circumstances touch internal parts in order to
attempt repairs.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A
programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
• Always keep children well away from the
appliance while in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during
the wash cycle.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent
depending on the water hardness, how soiled
the garments are and the amount of laundry
you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the
environment: despite being biodegradable,
detergents do contain ingredients that alter
the natural balance of the environment. In
addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as
possible.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the
help 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 your laundry into the washing
machine, make sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
• If you use your washing machine from late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the morning,
you will help reduce the electricity board's peak
load. The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps
to organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• Disposing of the packaging material:
observe local regulations, so the packaging can
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
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you time and
energy in the drying process.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
Cleaning the pump
G B
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.
•
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This
will limit the wear of your appliance's water
system and also prevent leaks.
•
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
Cleaning your appliance
To access the pre-chamber:
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
3. clean the interior thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong
and a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.

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.
