If you do not want to make a new selection, the ‘Door Locked’ indicator light will go out and you can open the door.

Caution: The load and remaining water in the drum may still be extremely hot.

During the wash, the progress indicator lights will show what stage in the cycle the programme has reached.

A short time after the programme has finished the ‘Door

Locked’ indicator light will go out and you can open the door.

Return the programme selector dial to the ‘OFF’ position.

We also recommend that you switch off the electricity and water supply.

Automatic Features...

Auto half load

Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads.

Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.

Unbalanced load warning

Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the fifth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.

As an indicator to you that this has happened the ‘Final Spin’ indicator light will flash, to advise that no spin has been performed.

If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to help balance the load.

STEP 8

Washcare Tips:

Do not overload the machine

(maximum load 6kg).

In addition to reducing the quality of the wash, this may also damage your laundry and the machine.

We strongly recommend that you

do not wash underwired bras in this machine. Should the wires become detached it could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable, then we advise placing it in a sealed pillow case or a similar washbag. Remember, you will be charged for a service call resulting from a detached bra wire.

Do not use the machine if the item to be washed does not have a wash label.

Before washing laundry we recommend that you do the following:

Pre-treat awkward stains with washable treatments.

Do not wash any items that have previously been treated with solvents.

Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings and close press studs to prevent tangling.

Empty ALL objects from pockets as they may damage the clothes and the machine.

Recycling & Disposal

Information

As part of Hotpoint’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.

A wide range of genuine parts and accessories are available from our hotline or through our web site.

Genuine parts and accessories, extended warranties and service repairs are all available on our web-site at: www.theservicecentre.co.uk
