Connecting the cold water inlet hose
! Remember: please use the new hose supplied,
fitted to the machine. Old hoses may cause leaks due
to worn out washers or may be split due to water
pressure.
! Before making connections to the cold water supply,
allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it
is perfectly clear.

Benefits of cold fill
Modern detergents are designed to give the best
cleaning results at low temperatures. Biological
detergents contain enzymes which are active
between 30˚C and 53˚C, giving greater results at
lower temperatures.
Cold water relaxes fabrics, whilst hot water can
seal in stains.
Improved stain removal with cold water.
The most commonly used programme at present is
40˚C, which will take on cold water even if hot and
cold were available.
You can heat the water required to finish the wash
cycle, which makes it more economical than taking
water heated in a tank by an immersion heater or
gas boiler.
Hints and tips
! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the supply tap must be within
the values indicated in the Technical details table (see
above).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, you can
purchase an extended hose from Hotpoint Service on
08709 077 077.
! Always use a new inlet hose.
! Check the water inlet hose at least once a year,
replace if cracked as worn hoses could split under
water pressure.
