manual abstract
In this case the Cotton cycle with pre-wash phase may not be selected. Preparing the laundry ! Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the machine. • Divide the laundry according to type of material (the symbol on the garment label] and colour, making sure that whites are separated from coloured garments. • Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons. • Do not exceed the values indicated in the "Table of Programmes" which refer to the weight of the laundry items when they are dry. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 sheet 400 - 500 g 1 pillowcase 150 - 200 g 1 tablecloth 400 - 500 g 1 bathrobe 900 - 1200 g 1 towel 150 - 250 g 1 pair of jeans 400 - 500 g 1 shirt 150 - 200 g Washing advice Shirts: use a suitable programme to wash shirts made from different fabrics and in different colours. This will guarantee that these garments are looked after properly. Silk: use the relevant programme designed for all silk garments. We recommend the use of a special detergent for delicate garments. Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside the bag provided. Use the "Silk" programme. Wool: Hotpoint is the only washing machine to have obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care mark of recognition (M.0508] from The Woolmark Company, which certifies the machine washing of all woollen garments, even those whose label states "hand wash only" \\j-f (max. 1 kg]. The "Wool" programme therefore offers you complete peace of mind when washing all woollen garments, with great performance guaranteed every time. Duvets: to wash double or single duvets (the weight of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the special "Duvets" programme. We recommend that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded inwards (see figure) and that no more than % of the total volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid detergent is used in conjunction with the detergent dispenser drawer. Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer, use the bag provided and set the programme to "Duvets". Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washing machine can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a single cycle called "Bed & Bath" that optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both time and electricity. We recommend that you use a powder detergent. Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the Cotton programme with pre-wash phase]. 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 faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several 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 washing machine continues at distribution speed only instead of the full spin speed. In order to achieve better load distribution and balance, we recommend that large and small garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the machine. 10 Precautions and tips ■ Hotpoint !
