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
and the load will still be wet at the end of the programme.
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.

Washcare Tips:
●
Do not overload the machine
(maximum load 5.5kg).
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.

Recycling & Disposal Information
Whether you have just one or a number of Hotpoint appliances in your
kitchen, we offer two service cover plans to give you total peace of mind.
● Repair Protection Plan - FREE service repairs for a single Hotpoint
appliance during the period of cover.
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.
● Kitchen Cover
- FREE service repairs for all your Hotpoint
appliances less than 8 years old.
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.

Disposal of old electrical appliances
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:
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be
separately collected.
For pre purchase information on any other Hotpoint
product,
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
