Care and maintenance
To access the pre-chamber:
Cutting off the water and
electricity supplies
EN
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in
the machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
1. take off the cover panel on the front of the
machine by first pressing it in the centre and
then pushing downwards on both sides until
you can remove it (see figures);
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.
2. position a container
so that it will collect the
water which flows out
(approximately 1.5 l)
(see figure);
3. unscrew the lid by
rotating it in an anti-
clockwise direction (see
figure);

should be repeated
frequently.

Caring for your appliance drum
Checking the water inlet hose
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
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.
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 protective
pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
6
Precautions and tips
! The machine was designed and constructed in
Load balancing system
EN
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons and
must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
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.
• This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid
urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling
the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-
out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of
their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners should contact their local
authorities or appliance dealer.
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
– Items that have been soiled with substances such
as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers
should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
– Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
– Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used
as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
– The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door
due to a powercut, 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.
3. remove the cover panel
on the lower front part of the
washer dryer (see overleaf).
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• 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 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.
• If it must be moved, proceed with the help 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 washer dryer, make sure
the drum is empty.
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been
washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
similar elastomers.
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull
downwards until you hear a “click”, which indicates that the
door is now unlocked.
5. open the door; if this is still not possible repeat the
procedure.
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during
the drying cycles.

• 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.
! Do not add softeners or detergents.
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint 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 washing machine. Hotpoint is the
first washing machine brand to be approved by The
Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its
washing performance and consumption of energy and
water. (M1135)
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.
Ultradelicates: use programme
garments having strasses or sequins.

Washing recommendations
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
Whites: use this cycle
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.

was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled
garments quickly. 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.
Darks: use cycle
to wash dark-coloured garments.
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.
When you select the drying function, at the end of the
washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a
delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the
garments. The display will show the level “Hanger”.

The machine wont spin properly.
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.
The machine leaks from the
dispenser.
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap

The Phase in Progress indicator
lights flash rapidly at the same
time as the ON/OFF indicator light.
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance
Centre.
The machine smells.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry.
The machine door cannot be
opened.
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after
the program has finished.
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking
procedure (see Precautions & Tips).

‘Steam Refresh’ cycle.
• Only dry items are to be used for this program. The program refreshes
garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres, also making items
easier to iron if required.
There is too much foam.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
After completing the programme,
or before starting a programme,
the machine has turned itself off
(no lights).
• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
General.
• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to
be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine washable.
