The number inside the wash tub shows the maximum water temperature,
in ˚C.
If there are no bars, the garment can be spun and rinsed as normal.
One bar indicates a reduced spin speed programme should be used.
Two bars mean the clothes need a mild wash action, but can be spun and
rinsed normally. Such items should not be wrung out by hand.
If the tub contains a hand, wash the item on a Hand Wash programme.
A triangle means that you can safely use a cold, dilute solution of bleach.
A triangle with a cross over it means the item cannot be bleached.
A circle inside a square means you can tumble dry the garment.
The dots indicate temperature
- one dot for lower heat.
- two dots for higher heat.
A cross over this symbol shows you should not tumble dry the garment.
A circle means the garment is suitable for dry-cleaning.
A letter inside the circle is to tell the dry-cleaner which chemical wash and
method to use.

Special features
●
Fast Wash:
The Fast Wash programmes are designed for lightly soiled loads delivering quick results for smaller loads,
using less energy. For loads with stains or increased soil levels which require deeper cleaning, use the standard
or intensive wash cycles.
●
Cool Wash: 30˚C
A low temperature wash which delivers cleaning results comparable to the intensive 40˚C cotton programme
but at a lower temperature for more colour sensitive garments and using less energy.
●
Handwash:
A gentle action programme for delicate items and items labelled as hand wash only.
Not for Wool or Silk garments (use the special programmes for those materials).
●
Handwash Wool Approved:
The wool wash cycle on Hotpoint machines has been tested and approved by the Woolmark company for
washing garments labelled as ‘hand wash’, provided that the ‘garments’ are washed in accordance to the
instructions issued by the manufacturer of this machine.
This cycle is selected by pressing the wool programme selector button and selecting the ‘Wash Enhance’
option modifier (see Programme Table and Option Modifiers).
We recommend using a wool wash liquid when using Wool programmes.
●
Super Silent Wash:
Using the latest brush-less electric motors and damper technology the noise levels during the washing phase
are significantly lower than a conventional washing machine.
●
LCD Display
Shows all information relating to your programme selections. Also indicating the stage of a programme in
progress.
If time delay is selected this shows the time remaining until the start of the wash programme in hours – counting
down each hour.
It also displays which option modifiers have been selected, the door lock status and the time to end of the
wash programme in hours and minutes, counting down each minute. Please note time can go up as well as
down depending on load absorbency, size and water temperature.
