Detergents and laundry

Detergent

EN
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.),
as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of
soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage
and help to protect the environment: although they are
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which
alter the balance of nature.
We recommend the following:
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and
pre-washing.
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. In the latter case, it will
not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

Preparing the laundry

• Shake out the garments before loading them into the
machine.
• Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the
washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you
separate the coloured garments from the white ones;
• Empty all pockets and check the buttons;
• Do not exceed the values listed in the "Table of wash cycles",
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle
automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that
resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages
of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the
possible presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only
be selected on a level basis.

This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over
time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best
results when washing dark-coloured garments.

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 Washer-dryer.
Hotpoint-Ariston is the first Washer-dryer brand to be
approved by The Woolmark Company for Apparel Care-
Platinum for its washing performance and consumption of
energy and water. (M1135)
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark
is a Certification trade mark.
Ultradelicates: use programme
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.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains select cycle
then option (in this case it will also be possible to
enable the "Extra Rinse" option); the machine will end the
cycle while the laundry is soaking and the
light will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may
be removed, press the START/PAUSE button or the
button.
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 --> 160 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.
Anti Allergy: use programme
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat's and dog's hair.
Wash&Dry: select programme
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.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with
solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with
pre-wash cycle.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
before every spin 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.
