Replacing the fuse:

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.

Replacement fuse covers:

If it is place over the

edge of a basin or sink

be sure the free end

of the hose should not

be underwater.

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.

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:

! 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.

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-

wearable 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.

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.

This cycle was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled small loads quickly. By selecting this cycle it is possible to wash and dry a maximum load

of 1 kg in just 60 minutes.

Please note, this is an automatically programmed wash and dry cycle, therefore it is not possible to manually set a drying time

or drying level in conjunction with this cycle.

follows.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibra-

tions and to distribute the load in a uniform man-

ner, 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 pro-

cess instead of spinning. To encourage improved

load distribution and balance, we recommend small

and large garments are mixed in the load.

! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).

Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.

compartment 1: Detergent for the wash

cycle (powder or liquid)

For best results liquid detergent should be poured

in the dispenser immediately before the start of

the programme.

compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from

whites

• Empty all garment pockets and check the

buttons.

• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to

the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1.5 kg

Silk: max. 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

• Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

3. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel on

the lower front part of

the washer dryer (see

figure).

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group

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.

appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning the pump

Cutting off the water and

electricity supplies

The washer-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 pre-chamber which protects the

pump, situated in its bottom part.

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside

the Washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the Washer-dryer when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug

the appliance.

Cleaning the Washer-dryer

To access the pre-chamber:

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.

1. using a screwdriver,

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are

securely in place before you push it onto the

appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

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.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washer dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”),

make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

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 the risk of injury to children,

remove the door, plug and cut the 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.
