Useful washing advice

Tips on using your appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way.
Loading your washing machine
To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we recommend
that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved by
washing one full load compared to two half loads.
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for less dirty
laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 40°C wash temperature.
Heavily soiled laundry
To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we recommend
that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine. If the drum is not crammed
full, the items will circulate more freely and will wash cleaner.
ARIEL - Chosen and recommended by Hoover
When we produce a new washing machine we subject it to every test possible. And one of
the most important tests is the one that enables our experts to identify the most suitable
detergent for solving laundry problems. Ariel was able to meet our needs: to make the
washing machine function efficiently, not compromise the machine's lifespan and produce
the best wash results. Consistently excellent results, which was the main aim of the test we
carried out, determined our choice and our recommendation. The prime function of a
detergent that answers all washing requirements is to work with the water to remove dirt
from fabrics, holding it in suspension until it is removed when the water is pumped out, and
to control the amount of foam forming in the washing machine, without damaging the fibres
of the items being washed. Ariel fully satisfies all these requirements, as it contains high
quality elements, the result of the most advanced research, ensuring excellent results
under all conditions.
