Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
!
Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
!
Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
!
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry: see "Table of wash
cycles".

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.
Standard Cotton 20° ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads.
:
The effective performance levels achieved at cold tempe-
ratures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are gua-
ranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying
speed, with repeated and frequent peaks.
Anti Allergy: use programme
such as pollen, mites, cat's and dog's hair.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint/Ariston ma-
chine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark
Company for washing wool garments labelled as hand wa-
shable 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 Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for
its washing performance and consumption of energy and
water. (M1126)
Delicates: use programme
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and
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.

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 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.
