• the socket is compatible with the washer-dryers plug. If  
this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.  
without bending it, to a  
draining duct or a wall  
drain situated between  
65 and 100 cm from the  
floor;  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug  
it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use.  
Before using the appliance please read the instructions  
below.  
65 - 100 cm  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED  
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to an  
Replacing the fuse:  
under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends have  
been taken off the spigot.  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved  
fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse  
cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not  
be used until a replacement is obtained.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the  
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the  
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.  
Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest  
Service Depot.  
If it is placed over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not be  
underwater.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through  
partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug  
bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,  
controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which  
is accessible without moving the appliance.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case  
of absolute need, the extension must have the same  
diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150  
cm in length.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe,  
that the end does not go down more than 15cms  
(6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may  
cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously  
empty as it is filling.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make  
the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted  
into a socket.  
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:  
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:

Drying may be set as follows:  
A - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes.  
B- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:  
Iron “L1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing  
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,  
making them easier to remove.  
Hanger “L2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be  
dried fully.  
Cupboard “L3”: suitable for laundry which can be put  
back in a cupboard without being ironed.  
Extra “L4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried  
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.  
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much  
greater than the maximum stated load, perform the  
wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the  
garments into groups and put some of them back in  
the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided  
for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the  
remainder of the load.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as  
water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.  
(*) Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display.

Steam Hygiene  
Eco  
This option enhances washing performance by generating  
steam during the wash cycle that eliminates any bacteria  
from fibres while treating them at the same time. Place the  
laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and  
select option “ “.  
The Eco Option saves energy by not heating the water  
used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the  
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified  
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash  
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.  
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a  
liquid detergent.

If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be  
reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle,  
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy  
saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.  
By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be  
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases.  
At the end of the cycle the washing machine drum will

Detergents and laundry  
Refresh: this programme refreshes garments by removing  
bad odours and relaxing the fibres (2 kg, roughly 3  
items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select  
Detergent  
EN  
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on  
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.),  
as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of  
soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.  
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage  
and help to protect the environment: although they are  
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which  
alter the balance of nature.

Moreover, with the “Steam Perfume” laundry balls, your  
favourite perfume can be added to your laundry. Place a  
few drops of perfume on the sponge contained inside the  
laundry ball, close it and insert it into the drum together  
with the laundry. Then launch the specific programme “  
“. At the end of the cycle, garments will be relaxed and  
fragrant.  
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.  
! Do not add too much perfume to the sponge in order to  
avoid it dripping.  
We recommend the following:  
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and  
pre-washing.  
• 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.  
Ultra Delicates: use programme

delicate garments having strasses or sequins.  
We recommend turning the garments inside out before  
washing and placing small items into the special bag  
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate  
garments for best results.

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

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.

Wash & Dry  
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 “L2”.

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 is not intended for use by persons (including  
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless  
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning  
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  
not play with the appliance.  
Disposal  
– 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.  
• 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.  
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:  
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.  
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).  
• 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.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during  
the drying cycles.  
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.

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

6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely  
in place before you push it onto the appliance.  
Checking the water inlet hose  
Caring for your appliance drum  
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.  
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours  
from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
The wasdher-dryer 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.

Trouble shooting  
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”),  
make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.  
EN  
Problem:  
The machine does not switch on.  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
The machine does not dry.  
• The door is not closed properly.  
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected.  
• The ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated (see ‘The machine just ‘beeps’ when a  
programme or option is selected’ below).  
• Check the 2 sections above.  
• The ‘DRY’ button has been pressed to exclude drying.  
The clothes are too hot when the  
drying cycle is finished.  
• A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the  
clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further  
before removing from the machine.  
The machine does not fill with

wash cycle flashing rapidly.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).  
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run  
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of  
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.  
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the  
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or spin • The Pump filter is blocked.  
- (error lights flashing).  
• The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).  
New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if  
connected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
The machine does not spin.  
• The Spin Speed is set to “  
” position.  
The machine does not drain or spin • The ‘EASY IRON’ option is enabled at the end of the program the machine

drum will rotate slowly. To complete the wash cycle press the ‘START/PAUSE’  
or the ‘EASY IRON’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Options)..  
The programme takes too long.  
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water  
temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the  
programme time accordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below)  
- (Most Common Cause!)  
The Display sticks at one ‘time to  
end’ for more than 1 Minute or the  
Display changes the estimated ‘Time  
to End’ during the programme.  
• The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish and  
may vary.  
The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.  
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at  
a lower speed.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
The machine is noisy.  
13  
 
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.  
EN  
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  
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
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).  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
The word ‘dON’ appears  
intermittently in the display  
window and the drum slowly turns.  
To exit, switch machine off, then press and hold ‘START/PAUSE’ and ‘ON/OFF’  
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.  
The machine just ‘beeps’ when a  
programme or option is selected  
(Child Lock Symbol is lit).  
• Deactivate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding in the ‘CHILD  
LOCK’ button for 2 seconds.  
Clothes are coming out too wet on  
‘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.
