How to run a wash cycle or a
drying cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button ;
the text HOTPOINT will appear on the display and the START/
PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load
the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum
load value indicated in the table of programmes on the
following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open the
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents
and laundry”.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Use the WASH CYCLE
SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle; the
name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A
temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle;
these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will
appear on the display.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant
buttons:
Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed. The
machine automatically selects the maximum temperature
and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these
values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature
can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold
wash (the display will visualise the “--” symbol) setting is
reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by
pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the
display will visualise the “--” symbol). If these buttons are
pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
! Exception: if the 5 programme is selected, the
temperature can be increased up to a value of 40°C.
! Exception: if the 7 programme is selected, the
temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.
! Exception: if the 9 programme is selected, the
temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.
Setting a delayed start.
To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press
the corresponding button repeatedly until the required
delay period has been reached. To remove the delayed
start function press the button until the text
“-- h” appears on the display.
Setting the drying cycle.
The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the
DRYING button once or several times. Two options are
available:
A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they
have been dried:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards.
the remaining dampness softens creases, making them
easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a
cupboard without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until
the text OFF appears on the display.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater
than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and
when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups
and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow
the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat
this procedure for the remainder of the load. A cooling-down
period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press button to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type
of garments), press button to exclude the washing
phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for
the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and
changed by pressing the drying button . (Not compati-
ble with cycles 1-2-3-4 and 14).
Set the rinse type.
Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse
type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra
+1” level, which makes it possible to select an additional
rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces
of detergent. Press the button again for the “Extra +2”
level, which makes it possible to select two additional
rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended
for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the
third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, thus allowing the
selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle’s
rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of
40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such
as pollen, cat and dog hair. With cycles at a temperature
higher than 40° a very good level of antiallergic protection
is achieved. Press the button again to go back to the
“Normal rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can
be neither set nor changed, the display will show “No
Selection” or “No Change”.
Modifying the cycle settings.
• Pressthebuttontoenablethefunction;therelevant
indicator light on the display will light up.
• Pressthebuttonagaintodisablethefunction;the
relevant indicator light on the display will switch off.
! If the selected function is incompatible with the set
programme, the relevant indicator light will appear dimly lit;
in addition, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer
(3 beeps) and the wording “No Selection” will appear on
the display.
! If the selected function is incompatible with another
previously set function, the wording “No Selection” will
appear on the display and the function will not be enabled.
! The functions may affect the recommended load value
and/or the duration of the cycle.
7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE
button. The corresponding indicator light will become
green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be
locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During
the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will
appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in
progress, pause the washer-dryer using the START/PAUSE
button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in
an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press
the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while
a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if
the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door
may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again
to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was
interrupted.
8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be indicated
by the text “CYCLE END” on the display; when the DOOR
LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened.
Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine.
! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press
and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the
machine will switch off.
Direct Injection
The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology
«Direct Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus
immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning principles.
This active emulsion is directly introduced into the drum of the
washer-dryer and penetrates the fibres with more efficacy in
cleaning even heavily soiled garments at low temperatures,
fully preserving colours and fabrics.
The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance
and the mode «EcoEnergy» allows more energy saving.
