Detergents and laundry
Detergent
The type and quantity of detergent used depends on
the type of fabric (cotton, wool, silk...), its colour, the
temperature of the wash, the level of soiling and the
hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid
accidental spills and help to protect the environment:
although they may be biodegradable, detergents
contain elements that alter the balance of nature.
We recommend:
• the use of powder detergents for white cotton
garments and for pre-wash phases;
• the use of liquid detergents for delicate cotton
garments and for all programmes which run at a
low temperature;
• the use of liquid detergents for wool and silk.
Do not use detergents when washing garments by
hand, because they create too much foam.
The detergent must be measured out into the
relevant compartment, or into the detergent dosing
ball which will be placed directly into the drum of the
machine. In this case the Cotton cycle with pre-wash
phase may not be selected.
Preparing the laundry
Unfold all items of laundry before placing them in the
machine.
• Divide the laundry according to type of material (the
symbol on the garment label) and colour, making
sure that whites are separated from coloured
garments.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the values indicated in the “Table of
Programmes”, which refer to the weight of the
laundry items when they are dry.

Washing advice
Shirts: use a suitable programme to wash shirts
made from different fabrics and in different colours.
This will guarantee that these garments are looked
after properly.
Silk: use the relevant programme designed for all silk
garments. We recommend the use of a special
detergent for delicate garments.

Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside
the bag provided. Use the "Silk" programme.
Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washer-dryer to
have obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum
Care mark of recognition (M.0508) from The
Woolmark Company, which certifies the machine
washing of all woollen garments, even those whose
label states “hand wash only”
programme therefore offers you complete peace of
mind when washing all woollen garments, with great
performance guaranteed every time.
Bathroom laundry and bedlinen: this washer-
dryer can be used to wash any domestic laundry in a
single cycle called “BED&BATH 7 DAYS” that
optimises the use of fabric softener while saving both
time and electricity. We recommend that you use a
powder detergent.
Stubborn stains: stubborn stains should be treated
with solid soap before the garment is washed (use the
Cotton programme with pre-wash phase).
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
faster than the normal washing speed. If, after several
attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the
machine spins at a lower speed than the set
frequency.
If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer-
dryer continues at distribution speed only instead of
the full spin speed.
In order to achieve better load distribution and
balance, we recommend that large and small
garments are mixed when placing the laundry in the
machine.
