Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Direct Injection
The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning principles. This active emulsion is directly introduced into the drum of the washer-dryer and penetrates the fibres with more efficacy in cleaning even heavily soiled garments at low temperatures, fully preserving colours and fabrics.
The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode «Energy Saver» allows more energy saving.
Drying
The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button once or several times. Two options are available:
A – Based on how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes that do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments that need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.
B – Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF appears on the display.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press the button to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press the button to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and changed by pressing the drying button .
Multi Rinse
This option allows for selecting the desired rinse type to protect sensitive skin. Press the button once to set level “Extra +1”, which allows for selecting an additional rinse to the standard cycle rinses and removing all traces of detergent. Press the button again to set level “Extra +2”, which allows for
selecting two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; this cycle is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, which allows for selecting 3 additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses. When started with cycles at a temperature of 40°C, this option makes it possible to remove major allergens such as pollen and cat or dog hair. With cycles running at temperatures higher than 40°C, an excellent level of anti-allergy protection is achieved. Press the button again to return to the “Normal Rinse” mode. If the current mode cannot be set nor changed, the display will show “No Selection” or “No Change”.
KEY LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for roughly 2 seconds. When the display visualises “KEY LOCK ON”, the control panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button ). This will prevent accidental modifications to wash cycles, especially when children are at home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to: 
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer-dryer and the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation/additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent.
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washer-dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washer-dryer
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. The washer-dryer has an “Auto Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.
To activate the cycle, press the button for 5 seconds then press START/PAUSE to start the cycle, which will last roughly 70 minutes.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washer-dryer is fitted with an Auto Clean pump which does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump. ! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.

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 that 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 be mixed in the load.

ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washer-dryer model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory, you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washer-dryer to save space and facilitate the loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washer-dryer by gripping it from the upper section. Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Installation instructions”.

DEMO MODE: to deactivate this function, switch the washing machine OFF. Then press and hold the “Start/Pause” button, within 5 seconds press also “ON/OFF”  button and hold both buttons for 2 seconds.

2. Long wash cycle for cotton: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C.
3. Short wash cycle for cotton: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

Specials wash cycles
Mix 15’(wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.
Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) requires the use of bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent, and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser drawer”).
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle that can be run at night when the electricity prices are lower. The wash cycle is designed for cotton and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively, the machine will perform the spin cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.

Eco cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need for heating water and it’s an advantage both to your energy bill and the environment! These innovative Eco programs (Cotton,  Synthetics, and Fast Wash ) are available for various fabrics and different quantities of garments; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can be used for lightly to medium soiled loads.
Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the same average time of a standard cycle.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build-up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

Hotpoint Washing Machine

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 3, 6.
Pour the bleach into extra compartment 4; pour the detergent and softener into the corresponding compartments, then select one of the abovementioned wash
cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled cotton garments.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:
  – the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
  – the colors: separate colored 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:
  • Durable fabrics: max. 9 kg
  • Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 kg
  • Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
  • Wool: max. 2 kg

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

Garments requiring special care

• Shirts: use special wash cycle 8 to wash shirts in various fabrics and colors.
  It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and minimizes the formation of creases.
  Silk: use special wash cycle 9We recommend the use of a special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
  Curtains:9Wool:10Load 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 that 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.

Precautions and tips

This washing machine was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must, therefore, be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
  experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed-out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
  Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliances.

Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a power cut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.
   Hotpoint Washing Machine
3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure).Hotpoint Washing Machine
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.
5.  reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running water;  this operation should be repeated frequently.

Hotpoint Washing Machine

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);
   
2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
   
3. clean the inside thoroughly
4. screw the lid back on;
5.  reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem can be not solved easily using the following list.

Service

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);
• Restart the program to check whether the problem has been solved;
• If this is not the case, contact an authorized Technical Assistance Centre using the telephone number provided on the guarantee certificate.
  ! Always request the assistance of authorized technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;
• the appliance model (Mod.);
• the serial number (S/N).
  This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washing machine, and can also be found on the front of the appliance by opening the door.

FAQS

My Hotpoint washing machine is stopping mid cycle

We recommend you check that your cold water supply is on. This is a common cause of your appliance failing to fill on the ‘rinse’ cycle and will result in your Hotpoint washing machine stopping mid-cycle.
On some newer Hotpoint washing machines this is indicated by using either a tap symbol or a flashing light, to advise there is a water supply issue.
Finally in some cases failure to position the drain hose at the correct height may also lead to problems of your appliance stopping mid-cycle. Check your instruction manual on how to position the drain hose correctly.

My Hotpoint washing machine will not spin

Your Hotpoint washing machine has an in built feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load.
The appliance will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance, however, if it remains unstable the spin process will be aborted. This will minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of your machine.
Some Hotpoint washing machine models are fitted with a ‘Final Spin’ indicator light, to advise you that the load is unbalanced.
On other models you may notice the clothes are still soaking when you attempt to remove them from the drum. In this instance, we would recommend removing the clothes, redistributing the load evenly and then reselecting a spin programme.

My Hotpoint washing machine appears to have no electrical supply

Check that the socket your Hotpoint washing machine is connected to is live by plugging in and testing another piece of equipment such as a radio.
Your Hotpoint washing machine comes fitted with a 13 amp plug and lead, please ensure that the correct rating of fuse is being used.
If you are using an extension lead you might want to try testing your machine with a different one.
Always ensure that your on/off or start switch is in the correct position and that the door is closed firmly at the 3 o’clock position.

My Hotpoint washing machine is noisy and unstable

If your Hotpoint washing machine appears noisy or unstable when using it for the first time it’s possible the installation has not been completed properly.
Please ensure the protective brackets or bolts (used for transportation) have all been removed before using your washing machine. You can keep them should you wish to transport your appliance again in the future.

My Hotpoint washing machine is leaking

As part of the manufacturing process we thoroughly test your washing machine to ensure that it will not leak from any internal components after you have installed it.
Any leaking before or during its first use is most likely due to water still remaining in the washing machine following this testing process.
Further checks can be easily carried out. Firstly, we would recommend checking the fill hose, drain hose and mains plumbing for leaks. Take care to check the fill hose connection to your washing machine and to the mains plumbing (taps) are secure.
It’s also possible for a leak to appear from your detergent dispenser, which can be caused by excessive water pressure or the washing machine has not been levelled properly during installation. You can raise the front of the appliance by adjusting the feet at the front of the machine.

Can I stack my Hotpoint tumble dryer onto my washing machine?

Hotpoint tumble dryers are designed to be fitted onto the top of some of our Hotpoint washing machines. This stacking process must only be completed using one of our genuine stacking kits.

There is a smell coming from my Hotpoint washing machine

There are a number of reasons that could cause your washing machine to smell. The most common causes are:
Consistent washing at low temperatures – means that bacteria and undissolved detergents can build up, causing your machine to smell.
We would recommend running your machine at 90 degrees using some biological detergent to help destroy the build up of bacteria and detergents. You can also run a 90 degree service wash monthly using our Limescale which will hygienically clean your machine, and prevent the smell reoccurring.

Why are my wash results poor?

To achieve the perfect wash make sure you select the correct programme, and then add the recommended amount of detergent.
Take care not to overload your Hotpoint washing machine as this will produce poor wash results due to an inability of the appliance to effectively dissolve the detergent.
Try re-washing garments on the correct programme ensuring that an adequate amount of detergent is used.
Check to make sure that the economy or quick wash option (if available) is not being used on heavily soiled items. You may also find that heavily soiled items need a pre-wash cycle beforehand to ensure maximum freshness and the best wash results.

My Hotpoint washing machine is taking too long?

Modern washing machine are designed to use less water, which means the appliance launders the clothes more – resulting in longer wash cycles. For approximate programme times, please see your user manual, which you can download manuals
It is also possible that the load detection system has detected an imbalanced wash load, the machine will then attempt to correct this by redistributing the load during the wash cycle.
We recommend you wash large and small items together to prevent this issue occurring. All of our latest Hotpoint washing machine are designed to give optimum wash results whilst also reducing the impact on the environment by using the minimum required amount of water and energy.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Maintenance of the anti-grease filters

Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using nonaggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Maintenance of the charcoal filter

It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°.

Replacing lamps

The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times longer than the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy. The lighting system cannot be replaced by the user, contact Customer Service in case of malfunction.
