Useful washing advice
Tips on using your appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
way
Loading your washing machine
To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we
recommend that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up to
50% can be achieved by washing one full load compared to two half loads.
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not
selecting the prewash option for less dirty laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at
temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a
40°C wash temperature.
Heavily soiled laundry
To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we
recommend that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine. If the
drum is not crammed full, the items will circulate more freely and will wash
cleaner.
ARIEL – Chosen and recommended by Hoover
When we produce a new washing machine we subject it to every test possible.
And one of the most important tests is the one that enables our experts to identify
the most suitable detergent for solving laundry problems. Ariel was able to meet
our needs: to make the washing machine function efficiently, not compromise the
machine’s lifespan and produce the best wash results. Consistently excellent
results, which was the main aim of the test we carried out, determined our choice
and our recommendation. The prime function of a detergent that answers all
washing requirements is to work with the water to remove dirt from fabrics,
holding it in suspension until it is removed when the water is pumped out, and to
control the amount of foam forming in the washing machine, without damaging the
fibres of the items being washed. Ariel fully satisfies all these requirements, as it
contains high quality elements, the result of the most advanced research,
ensuring excellent results under all conditions.

Door open button
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately
after the end of the cycle. The light is illuminated when the door is fully
closed. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the
neon has gone off before opening the door. As a safety measure check that
there is no water evident in the drum.
Description of Controls
All the controls on your product’s control panel are listed as follows. The button
function is selected when the button neon is lit. Carefully read the relevant
descriptions detailed below:
START/PAUSE
START
After selecting the programme press the button once to start the machine.
The neon will illuminate and there will be a short time delay to the start of the
programme while the machine sets the wash parameters for the selected
programme. The START neon in the CHRONOVISION indicator will illuminate. If
the duration of the programme you have selected is shorter than 60 minutes, then
the time remaining indicator will illuminate accordingly.
PAUSE
The programme may be paused at any time during the wash cycle by holding
down the button for about two seconds. When the machine is in the paused
mode, the time remaining for the programme in the CHRONOVISION indicator
and function buttons will flash. To restart the programme press the button
once again.
CANCEL
To cancel the programme the button must be pressed down for five seconds.
To signify that the programme has been cancelled the STOP light in the
CHRONOVISION indicator will light.
05651296 English.qxd 16/02/2004 17:56 Page 13

The tables in the washing section describe the various programmes and illustrate
the number or symbol to select for them.
Note: do not press the button before selecting the
programme. If this does happen, cancel the programme
(that you have accidentally selected) by pressing the
button for five seconds (see “Programme
Cancelled” description).
Maxi Load
This option can only be utilised for cotton programmes. Hoover has designed a
special wash boost system specially for Large Wash Loads – by selecting this, the
volume of water within the selected wash cycle and the length of time of the
programme are increased to improve the wash performance for the bigger load.
Time Saver
This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetics. By selecting the Time Saver
option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the
selected programme, temperature and load, without giving up a good wash
quality.
Energy Saver
This option can be utilised on all programmes. By selecting the option the wash
temperature is limited to the water inlet temperature. This is particularly useful in the
case of lightly soiled fabrics, and allows you to save 80% of energy compared with
the normal 60°C programme.
Extra Rinse
This option causes more water to be added at the rinse stage. This is important to
avoid skin irritation from detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive
skin. Selecting the button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled
fabrics, requiring the use of a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains items
made of towelling whose fabrics have a greater tendency to retain detergent.

Detergent drawer
The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments:
the first, labelled “I”, is for detergent utilised
during Prewash.
the second, labelled “II”, is for detergent
utilised during the main wash.
Main wash
powder
Pre-wash
powder
Fabric conditioner
Note: this model is fitted with an electronic “sensor”
device that checks the load is balanced correctly. If the
load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance
it automatically to then carry out the normal spin.
If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a
reduced spin speed will be used.
If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be
cancelled.
This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve
the washing machine’s reliability and life.
Note: if the drying time is selected before the wash
cycle is completed the machine will automatically
commence the drying programme.
DRYING TIME Selector
For tumble drying select the appropriate drying programme via the drying time
selector. For drying cotton fabrics select the high heat option via the selector
and for synthetic fabrics select the low heat option . Turn the drying
time selector until the indicator aligns with the desired time.
05651296 English.qxd 16/02/2004 17:56 Page 15
the third, labelled is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances,
starch, brighteners etc.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final
rinse stage for all wash cycles.
16
Note: only put special additives, fabric softeners,
fragrances, starch, brighteners, etc, in the third
compartment.
Note: some forms of detergents are difficult to
dispense from the drawer e.g. concentrated powders.
For these, we recommend you use the recommended
dispenser which is placed inside the drum.
This ensures that the liquid detergent is dispersed in the drum only when needed.
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to
use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agents, are
particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for
heavily soiled and stained laundry.
Liquid detergents, are particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy
skin marks, cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not
contain bleach.
Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough
wash.
05651296 English.qxd 16/02/2004 17:56 Page 16
Special detergents
Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often
without any optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.
Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes,
particularly suitable for handling woollen fibres.
Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to
prevent yellowing from sunlight.
Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending
on fabric type, degree of soiling and water hardness.
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added
separately.
Additional laundry aids
Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is
classed as hard to very hard.
Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the
main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with
bleach-free detergents.
Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens
fabrics.
Tumble drying will soften clothes even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the
detergent drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those
instructions!.
Dosages
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical
products and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the
degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
17
05651296 English.qxd 16/02/2004 17:56 Page 17
- water hardness, depending on the hardness of the water and the type of
detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent. The softer the
water supply, the less detergent is required.
- the degree of soiling, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used
depending on the degree of soiling. Use less detergent for less soiled items.
- amount of laundry, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when
washing only a small amount of laundry. For smaller loads use less detergent.
The amounts shown on pack for detergents for washing delicates often already
refer to a reduced wash size.
Follow the dosage instructions!
Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry
choose a programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment II of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment I, 3/4 in compartment II of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to
compartment II.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow exactly what
is shown on pack with regards to type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the
dosage aids provided in the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent dosage
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the recommended
dispenser which is placed in the drum.

Programme selector
The washing machine has 3 different programme groups according to type of
wash, temperature, spin speeds and duration for handling the various types of
fabric and their level of soiling (see wash programme guide).
1. COTTONS
The programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing. With spin
cycles in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final
spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the
maximum speed.
2. SYNTHETICS and mixed fabrics
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds
and water levels. The delicate action spin (at 400 rpm) minimises creasing.
3. DELICATES
This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that comprises of alternate
periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate
fabrics, such as Pure New Wool.
Wash and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best
results.
4. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES
i) AA SPECIAL PROGRAMME at 40°C
This special programme has been studied to allow you to obtain the best
washing performance, even at full load, as the 60°C Cotton programme (the
standard cycle), but with the double advantage of:
- washing cotton and mixed in the same cycle
- energy saving due to 40°C temperature, instead of 60°C.
ii) DAILY WASH 40°C - FAST PROGRAMMES
By maintaining exceptional washing performance, these programmes allow
you to know in advance the necessary time for your everyday laundry. In fact,
this washing machine is equipped with two daily rapid programmes at 40°C,
that were just studied for:
- lightly soiled fabrics;
- medium or little load.
DAILY WASH 40°C - FAST 29'
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in
approximately 29 minutes:
- a maximum load of 2 kgs;
05651296 English.qxd 16/02/2004 17:56 Page 19
Main wash
Auto half load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This
system enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash
and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction
of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing
and rinsing performance.
In fact, the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the
clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at
minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.
20
Sorting the laundry
It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin
them.
Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature:
follow the labelling on the garments
.
Examples:
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Wash by hand
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics).
We recommend, with this programme, a 20% detergent loading dose
(compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.
DAILY WASH 40°C - FAST 44'
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in
approximately 44 minutes:
- a maximum load of 3.5 kgs;
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics).
We recommend, with this programme, a 30% detergent loading dose
(compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.
