DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL

“Kg MODE”

(Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes) Through every wash phase “Kg MODE” allows to monitor information on the wash load in the drum. So, as soon as the “Kg MODE” is set in motion, in the first 4 minutes of the wash,it: o adjusts the amount of water required o determines the length of the wash cycle o controls rinsing according to the type of fabric selected to be washed it: o adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabric being washed o recognises the presence of lather,increasing,if necessary,the amount of water during rinsing o adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoiding any imbalance. In this way “Kg MODE” is able to decide, by itself,the most suitable programme for each individual wash from the hundreds of possible wash combinations. “Kg MODE” meets the need for easy use by permitting a simplified programme selection.In fact,the user need only tell the machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree of soiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of drying possible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.

DOOR HANDLE

Press the finger-bar inside the door handle to open the door.

PROGRAMME SELECTION BUTTONS

Pressing a programme button the display lights up to show the settings for the programme selected.

N.B. TO SWITCH THE MACHINE OFF PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON

TODAY, MOST DETERGENTS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED TO WASH EFFICIENTLY AT LOWER TEMPERATURES, THEREFORE WE HAVE SET THE DEFAULT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS OF EACH PROGRAMME TO A LOWER LEVEL, SAVING ELECTRICITY AND REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF YOUR MACHINE. YOU CAN SELECT AN HIGH TEMPERATURE BY PRESSING THE TEMPERATURE BUTTON. PLEASE REFER TO THE PROGRAMME GUIDE FOR THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE TO WHICH EACH PROGRAMME CAN BE SET.

Press the START button to start the selected cycle

When the cycle ends, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

ON/OFF BUTTON

Press this button to switch on/off the appliance.

SPIN SPEED BUTTON

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics.You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs. By pressing this button, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled. To reactivate the spin cycle is enough to press the button until you reach the spin speed you would like to set.

For not damage the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over that automatically suitable during the selection of the program.

It is possible to modify the spin speed in any moment, also without to pause the machine.

NOTE: THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WHICH PREVENTS THE SPIN CYCLE SHOULD THE LOAD BE UNBALANCED. THIS REDUCES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE MACHINE AND SO PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOUR MACHINE.

WASH TEMPERATURE BUTTON

When a programme is selected on the display is show the recommended wash temperature. The temperature button can be used to decrease or increase the temperature of your chosen wash cycle. Each time the button is pressed, the new temperature level is shown on the display.

WASH TIME BUTTON

By selecting this button (active only on COTTON and MIXED FIBRES programmes) there is a choice of 3 levels of wash intensity, depending on how much the fabrics are soiled. Once the programme has been selected the indicator light will automatically show the minimum level required for that programme.Pressing the button increases the duration of the wash cycle,and adjusts the wash settings accordingly. For example: Using this button on the Rapid Wash cycle will enable you to select either a 14, 30 or 44 minute wash cycle.

DELAY START BUTTON

This button allows you to pre-programme the wash cycle to delay the start of the cycle for up to 24 hours. To delay the start use the following procedure: Switch on the appliance by the ON/OFF button Select the required programme. Press the button once to activate it (h00 appears on the display) and then press it again to set a 1 hour delay (h01 appears on the display); the pre-set delay increases by 1 hour each time the button is pressed, until h24 appears on the display, at which point pressing the button again will reset the delay start to zero.

The option buttons should be selected before pressing the START button. If an option is selected but it is not compatible with the selected programme then the symbol first flashes and then goes off.

NIGHT & DAY BUTTON

Press this button to reduce the intermediate spin speed to 400 rpm, where applicable; the water level is increased during rinsing and the washing is kept immersed in water after the final rinse in order to spread the fibres evenly. During the phase in which the water is held in the tub, the indicator lights to show that the machine is at a standstill. Release the button to end the cycle with a spin dry (which may be reduced or cancelled using the appropriate button) and emptying phase. Thanks to electronic control, the water in the intermediate phases is emptied silently, making this option very useful for washing at night.

PREWASH BUTTON

This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used only on some programmes as shown in the programmes table. Detergent for this programme should be added to the compartment of the soap drawer labelled “1” (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual).We recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme.

Confirm by pressing the “START/PAUSE” button (the light on the display starts to flash). The countdown will begin and when it has finished the programme will start automatically.

It is possible to cancel the delay start by taking the following action: Press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the display will show the settings for the programme selected. At this stage it is possible to start the programme previously selected by pressing the START/PAUSE button or to cancel the process by pressing the ON/OFF button.

STAIN BLASTER BUTTON

By pressing this button, a sensors system come into operation. They affect both the selected temperature, keeping it at a constant level throughout the wash cycle, and the mechanical function of the drum. The drum is made to turn at two different speeds at crucial moments. When the detergent enters the garments, the drum rotates in such a way that the detergent is distributed in a uniform manner; during the wash and rinse procedures, however, the speed increases in order to maximise the cleaning action.Thanks to this special system, the efficiency of the wash procedure is improved WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF THE PROGRAM.

DRYING SELECTION BUTTON

After pressing the ON/OFF button, select before the required washing or drying programme and then press the button to select the required drying degree; an indicator will light to display the drying result selected each time you press the button.To cancel the selection before the start of a drying programme, press the button repeatedly until the indicators go out or press the ON/OFF button.To cancel the cycle during the drying phase, hold the button down for 2 seconds until the cooling indicator lights up; given the high temperature inside the drum,we recommend that you allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before turn off the appliance and removing the laundry.

NOTE:

Do not dry unwashed items in the washer 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 washer 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 washer dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products,should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

The final part of a washer 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.

WARNING: Never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

SENSITIVE CARE BUTTON

By pressing this button you can activate a special new wash cycle in the Colourfast and Mixed Fabrics programs, thanks to the new Sensor System.This option treats with care the fibres of garments and the delicate skin of those who wear them. The load is washed in a much larger quantity of water and this, together with the new combined action of the drum rotation cycles, where water is filled and emptied,will give you garments which have been cleaned and rinsed to perfection.The amount of water in the wash is increased so that the detergent dissolves perfectly, ensuring an efficient cleaning action.The amount of water is also increased during the rinse procedure so as to remove all traces of detergent from the fibres. This function has been specifically designed for people with delicate and sensitive skin, for whom even a very small amount of detergent can cause irritation or allergy. You are advised to also use this function for children’s clothing and for delicate fabrics in general,or when washing garments made of towelling,where the fibres tend to absorb a greater quantity of detergent. To ensure the best performance for your wash,this function is always activated on the Delicates and Woollens.

EASY IRON BUTTON

The Easy Iron function minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics. The water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.

DRYING PROGRAMME SELECTION BUTTON

By pressing this button, one indicator lights will go on to show the selected drying programme:

CHAPTER 8

SELECTION

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different programme bands according to: wash cycle,temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

RESISTANTS FABRICS

The programme is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency for normally soiled laundry. The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS

The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

SPECIAL “FAST SPIN” PROGRAMME

Programme “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin (which can be reduced by using the correct button).

DRAIN ONLY

This programme drains out the water.

WOOL & SILK PROGRAMME

This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Machine-Washable” Wool fabrics and laundry items made from silk or specified “Wash as Silk” on the fabric label. The new motor allows the drum to move with a pulse action. This action of partial rotation with pauses in between creates a delicate wash only equalled to that of hand washing. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a slow spin.

SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES

This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.

SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME

This programme carries out three rinses with a intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the correct button). It can be used for rinsing any type of fabric,eg. use after hand-washing.

This program can be also used as cycle of Bleaching (see table of washing cycle programmes).

DUVET PROGRAMME

This is a programme dedicated to washing a single duvet or big size laundry. This programme washes at a cool 30°C,carries out 3 rinses (one is for fabric conditioner) and concludes with a slow spin. We suggested to follow the instruction on the cloths label.

SPORTS

Hoover has given sports items their own wash care programme. The washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme. It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on hotter programmes and is designed to remove the soil and staining created by participation in sports activities. This programme washes at a cool 30°C, rinses and spins slowly for the best care of your heavily soiled, delicate garments.

RAPID PROGRAMME

The Rapid programme allows a washing cycle to be completed in just 14 minutes! This programme is particularly suited to slightly dirty cottons and mixed fabrics. Using the Wash Time button on the Rapid cycle will enable you to select either a 14,30 or 44 minute wash cycle. When selecting the rapid programme,please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack. For information about these programmes please refer to the programmes table.

CHAPTER 9

DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments:

- the compartment labelled "1" is for prewash detergent;

- the compartment labelled “✿✿” is for special additives,

fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;

COTTON DRYING

Cotton, terry towelling, linen,hemp fabrics, etc...

SYNTHETICS DRYING

Mixed fabrics (synthetics/cotton), synthetic fabrics.

RAPID 59’

A complete express washing and drying cycle lasting only 59'. This is an ideal program for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes as soon as the cycle is finished.

- Maximum load: 1,5 kg (4 shirts for example)

- Lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)

With this program we recommend that you reduce the detergent loading dose (compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.

- the compartment labelled "2" is for main wash detergent.

If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked “2” in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle.

This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "2" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as BLEACHING cycle.

NOTE: SOME DETERGENTS ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. FOR THESE, WE RECOMMEND YOU USE THE SPECIAL DISPENSER WHICH IS PLACED IN THE DRUM.

NOTE: ONLY PUT LIQUID PRODUCTS IN THE COMPARTMENT LABELLED “

✿✿”. THE MACHINE IS

PROGRAMMED TO AUTOMATICALLY TAKE UP ADDITIVES DURING THE FINAL RINSE STAGE FOR ALL WASH CYCLES.

CHAPTER 10

THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT:

When washing heavy rugs, bed spreads and other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin.

To be machine-washed,woollen garments and other articles in wool must bear the “Machine Washable Label”.

IMPORTANT: When sorting articles ensure that:

- there are no metal objects in the washing (e.g. brooches, safety pins, pins,coins etc.).

- cushion covers are buttoned,zips and hooks are closed, loose belts and long tapes on dressing gowns are knotted.

- runners from curtains are removed.

- attention is paid to garment labels.

- when sorting, any tough stains should be removed prior to washing using stain removers only recommended on label.

CHAPTER 11

CUSTOMER AWARENESS

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy, water,detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time,water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 40°C wash programme.

BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME...

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

WASHING

● Ensure that the water inlet tap is turned on.

VARIABLE CAPACITY

This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing.In this way it is also possible to obtain a “personalized”wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times.

EXAMPLE:

A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.

Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitable stain removal).

It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy.

● And that the discharge tube is in place.

PROGRAMME SELECTION

FOR ALL TYPES OF WASH CONSULT THE PROGRAMME TABLE AND FOLLOW THE OPERATIONS IN THE ORDER INDICATED.

CHAPTER 12

DRYING

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

● Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

● Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire.Piling, stacking or storing oil affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The 'cool down' cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

● Items that have been previously cleaned in,washed in,soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline,dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone,denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,kerosene,spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

● Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

● Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

● Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

● Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies' waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

● Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

IMPORTANT: THIS DRYER CAN ONLY BE USED FOR LAUNDRY WHICH HAS BEEN WASHED AND SPIN DRIED.

WARNING:

Indications given are general,therefore some practice is needed for the best drying results. We recommend setting a lower drying time than indicated, when first using, so as to establish the degree of dryness required. We recommend not to dry fabrics that fray easily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, to avoid air duct clogging. The water is then conveyed to the drain circuit,wich is sealed and therefore,no steam can be released outside.

IMPORTANT NEVER OPEN THE DOOR AFTER THE DRYING CYCLE HAS BEGUN - WAIT UNTIL THE COOL DOWN PERIOD PROVIDED FOR BY THE CYCLE.

● Only available on certain models:

Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

● Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be inside the pump

● Turn the filter anticlockwise till it stops in vertical position.

● Remove and clean.

● After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of

the filter clockwise.Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.

REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING

For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing for long periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should be emptied of all remaining water.

The appliance must be switched off and unplugged.A bowl is needed. Detach the drainage hose from the clamp and lower it over the bowl until all the water is removed.

If the fault should persist, contact a Hoover Customer Service Centre. For prompt servicing, give the model of the washing machine,to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside of the porthole or on the guarantee certificate.

Important 1 The use of environment friendly detersives without phosphates may produce the following effects:

- The discharge rinse water may result cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension. This does

not compromise the efficiency of the rinses.

- The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle. This does

not remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour.

- The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing.

- The non-ionic surface-active agents present in the composition of washing machine detersives are

often difficult to remove from the washing itself and, even in small quantities, may produce visible signs of the formation of foam.

- Carrying out further rinses, in cases such as this, is not useful.

2 If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the above-mentioned checks before calling the

Hoover Customer Service Centre.
