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.

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

1 pair of jeans 400 - 500 g

1 shirt 150 - 200 g

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 washing machine

to have obtained the prestigious Woolmark Platinum

Care mark of recognition (M.0612) from The

Woolmark Company, which certifies the machine

washing of all woollen garments, even those whose

label states hand wash only

(max. 1 kg). The

Wool programme therefore offers you complete

peace of mind when washing all woollen garments,

with great performance guaranteed every time.

Duvets: to wash single duvets (the weight of which

should not exceed 2 kg), cushions or clothes padded

with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the

special "Duvets" programme. We recommend that

duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded

inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the

total volume of the drum is used.

To achieve the best results, we recommend that a

liquid detergent is used in conjunction with the

detergent dispenser drawer.

Quilts: to wash quilts with a synthetic outer layer,

use the bag provided and set the programme to

"Duvets".

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 washing

machine 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.
