Detergent dispenser drawer
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 envi-
ronmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create
too much foam.
Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the
detergent or washing additi-
ve, as follows.
compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra com-
partment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the remo-
vable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage.
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach

Special wash cycles
Anti Stain : this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class
that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running
the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We
recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with
special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
Delicates: use programme to wash very delicate
garments having strasses or sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag for
washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments
for best results.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a
drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is
particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and appropriate
temperature control of the water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric
composition.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle and
set the “Delicate” level from option .
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint-Ariston machine
has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable
provided that the garments are washed according to the
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint-Ariston is
the first washing machine brand to be approved by The Wo-
olmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing
performance and consumption of energy and water. (M1127)
Ready to Wear: select programme (2nd press of the button)
for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and
Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash
and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat
cuffs, collars and stains.
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 washer-
dryer 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.
