Wash Labels Explained

The number inside the wash tub shows the maximum water temperature,

in ˚C.

If there are no bars, the garment can be spun and rinsed as normal.

One bar indicates a reduced spin speed programme should be used.

Two bars mean the clothes need a mild wash action, but can be spun and

rinsed normally. Such items should not be wrung out by hand.

If the tub contains a hand, wash the item on a Hand Wash programme.

A triangle means that you can safely use a cold, dilute solution of bleach.

A triangle with a cross over it means the item cannot be bleached.

A circle inside a square means you can tumble dry the garment.

The dots indicate temperature

- one dot for lower heat.

- two dots for higher heat.

A cross over this symbol shows you should not tumble dry the garment.

A circle means the garment is suitable for dry-cleaning.

A letter inside the circle is to tell the dry-cleaner which chemical wash and

method to use.

Special features

●Fast Wash:

The Fast Wash programmes are designed for lightly soiled loads delivering quick results for smaller loads,

using less energy. For loads with stains or increased soil levels which require deeper cleaning, use the standard

or intensive wash cycles.

●Cool Wash: 30˚C

A low temperature wash which delivers cleaning results comparable to the intensive 40˚C cotton programme

but at a lower temperature for more colour sensitive garments and using less energy.

●Handwash:

A gentle action programme for delicate items and items labelled as hand wash only.

Not for Wool or Silk garments (use the special programmes for those materials).

●Handwash Wool Approved:

The wool wash cycle on Hotpoint machines has been tested and approved by the Woolmark company for

washing garments labelled as ‘hand wash’, provided that the ‘garments’ are washed in accordance to the

instructions issued by the manufacturer of this machine.

This cycle is selected by pressing the wool programme selector button and selecting the ‘Wash Enhance’

option modifier (see Programme Table and Option Modifiers).

We recommend using a wool wash liquid when using Wool programmes.

●Super Silent Wash:

Using the latest brush-less electric motors and damper technology the noise levels during the washing phase

are significantly lower than a conventional washing machine.

●LCD Display

Shows all information relating to your programme selections. Also indicating the stage of a programme in

progress.

If time delay is selected this shows the time remaining until the start of the wash programme in hours – counting

down each hour.

It also displays which option modifiers have been selected, the door lock status and the time to end of the

wash programme in hours and minutes, counting down each minute. Please note time can go up as well as

down depending on load absorbency, size and water temperature.

Did you know?…

●… when an option button is selected the corresponding indicator is illuminated on the LCD display.

●… if the option selected is incompatible with the programme selected, the option indicator will flash

and the option will not be enabled.

●… if you set an option that is incompatible with an option selected previously, only the last option

selected will be enabled

Selecting options and their function

●Wash Enhance:

Use this option to select a more intensive wash programme for the cotton 60˚C and cotton 40˚C for more heavily

soiled items. Additionally, use this option on the machine wash wool programme to select the special Handwash

wool programme for wool items that are not marked as machine washable. This cycle has been approved by

Woolmark for the Platinum Care award.

●Reduced Creases:

Selecting this option will run the wash programme with a more gentle action and lower spin speed, in addition to

carrying out an additional rinse to ensure your laundry has fewer creases and will require less ironing.

●Rinse Hold:

Selecting this option will pause the cycle in the final rinse with the fabric conditioner keeping the laundry fresh

until you are ready to complete the programme. The Rinse Hold option light will flash to indicate the cycle is

paused. The machine will stay in this state, tumbling the load occasionally until either the START/CANCEL button

is pressed or the Rinse Hold button is pressed again to continue the cycle.

●Mini Load:

Use this option for smaller loads less than the capacity listed for the material and programme type (see

Programmes Table). This option reduces water consumption and washing time, saving energy when washing

smaller loads.

after this will start the Time Delay selection from 1 hour.

Once the countdown reaches zero the programme will start.

The new wash temperature will be shown in the LCD display.

If you press again after ‘OFF’ has been displayed, the machine will revert to the original higher temperature.

●Variable Spin Speed:

Use this option to reduce the spin speed below the maximum for the programme you have chosen.

- Each press of the button will reduce the spin speed. The new spin speed will be shown in the LCD display.

If you press again after ‘OFF’ has been displayed, the machine will revert to the original higher spin

speed.

●Extra Rinse:

Use this option for people with sensitive skin, to add a rinse to your selected wash programme. Press the ‘Rinse’

option button once and ‘Extra Rinse’ will illuminate on the LCD display. Press the ‘Rinse’ button again to cancel.

A typical wash load

Did you know that with Hotpoint and Ariel you’ll get the best washing results?

Certain laundry products work better in some machines than others. At Hotpoint we know this is

true because we’ve done the research to prove it.

We used real everyday clothes and ran tests to find out which washing powder works best with

Hotpoint. The results proved that Hotpoint and Ariel produces the best washing results on all your

clothes.

Ariel can meet all your laundry needs. It’s available as a biological powder for everyday wash

loads. Colour powder to keep your clothes staying brighter for longer and a Non-Bio powder for

when you need brilliant cleaning but are concerned about sensitive skin.
