Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you
put a full load in your washing machine, not exceed the maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 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 normally soiled 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 60°C wash temperature.
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.
After washing
–Wait about two minutes for the door locking device
to disengage (only if door locked indicator is ON)
Switch off the machine by turning the control knob
to the STOP position
–Open the door and remove the laundry
Note: Please ensure that Vision set-up, installation and
testing has been completed before referring to the
Quick Start.
When in transit never rest the porthole against the trolley.
M) N.B!
If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor ensure that the ventilation holes on the
base of the appliance are not obstructed.
N) The appliance should be lifted by two people.
O) If the appliance is not running properly or breaks down, switch it off, turn off the tap and
do not tamper with the appliance.
Consult only the Authorised Technical Support Service for possible repair and ask them to
use original spare parts.
Failure to comply with the above can compromise the safety of the appliance.
P) If the appliance’s power cable should ever need replacing, consult the Authorised
Technical Support Service.
Quick Start

When using your new Hoover Vision for the first time
Your new Vision washing machine incorporates highly sophisticated Inter@ct technology
which always ensures the best performance is achieved automatically. The Vision display
panel is a good example of Inter@ct technology as you can always see in plain English what
the machine is doing both before a wash programme (when you are setting the various
programmes and options) and during a cycle (when the display lets you see the stage the
cycle has reached). In this way, the Vision panel Inter@cts with you and really does serve as
your personal Washing Advice Centre.
This machine will operate prior to programming the Vision set up. However, this machine has
Start Delay and Programme End functions and for these functions to work efficiently the
Vision set must be programmed. This is a simple operation and special care has been taken
during manufacture to ensure that the user can operate this machine simply and effectively.
A quick guide around your Vision menu:
Connect product up to the electric / water supplies and drainage (see pag. 8).
Select any wash programme. After a short time a message will be displayed:
Note: The first message appear in German. See below for changing to English.

A DETAILED GUIDE AROUND YOUR VISION MENU:
PROGRAMME END
AT 18.00 14:00
Therefore, when setting the Programme end time the programme (as shown above) will end
at 18.00.
The second way is if you wish programme end time or delay start to be programmed by
adding hours; e.g., programme to end in 1
1
/
2
hours. This is called Relative Time Mode.
When utilising the programme end function (or start delay), an example can be seen below
when the Relative Time Mode has been selected in the menu set-up stage.
Therefore, when setting the Programme end time the programme (as shown above) will end
at 15:30. (1h 30m after the current time, which is 14.00)
Both options are very useful, but we feel that the Absolute Time Mode will be more beneficial
and easier to use since there will be no need to calculate how many hours you will need to
leave before you want the machine to end or start.
On reaching the set time mode you will be asked if you would like to select “Relative” time or -
by scrolling through using the “Extra Rinse” button (Extra spülgang) - “Absolute” time.
Enter the preferred setting by pressing the “Timer saver” (Express) button.
When you have entered your preferred time-mode, the display will then ask for the Enable
Final Beeping to be set.
Enable Final Beeping (default setting - YES)
Here you have the option to have a beeping alarm to let you know the wash cycle has finished.
By pressing the “Extra Rinse” (Extra spülgang) button you can scroll through the “yes” and “no”
options.
To enter your selection press the “Timer saver” (Express) button and the screen will then
move to the next stage and ask you to “Set New Time”
Set New Time
This function needs to be set for two reasons: firstly to display the current time of day on the
screen and secondly for the programme end/delay start settings to work correctly.
You will notice in the display window that the hours on the clock will be flashing.
Set the hours by continually pressing the “Extra Rinse” (Extra spülgang) button and then
press the “Timer saver” button to input the hour of day.
Next the minutes on the clock will begin to flash, again press the “Extra rinse” button until the
required minutes are displayed and press “Timer saver” (Express) to input the selection.
When you have Set the New Time, the display will then ask if you wish to “Enable Memory”.
Enable Memory (default setting - NO)
This is a useful feature if you frequently wash laundry using the same programme.
Selecting “Enable Memory” will tell the machine to remember the last programme/functions
used and set them in the memory. This function works only on cottons, delicates, synthetics
and woollens programme (1÷23). The memory does not retain settings within the special
programme group.
Select “Yes” or “No” to this option by using the “Extra Rinse” (Extra spülgang) and “Timer saver”
(Express) button to input the selection.
The display will then shown a message that asks if you require demo mode to be set.

Programming the machine
Vision needs to be programmed so that the correct clock setting, language and personal
requirements are set. When the machine is turned on and the programme dial is moved away
from the “STOP” position to the programme selections a welcome message will appear.
This message is displayed for a short time while the machine recognises which programme
has been selected. When the machine is ready, the programme details will appear on the
display and from here you may now begin programming the machine.
Example
Enter the Menu
Prior to entering the Vision menu please note you have 30 seconds per operation to make
your selection. Should you run out of time the display will return to the start screen, and you
simply have to re-enter the Vision menu to continue with the programming.
From this stage the menu can be programmed. Hold down the “Timer saver” (Express) and
the “Extra Rinse” (Extra spülgang) buttons together for 5 seconds or until the beep sounds.
The menu options can be changed by pressing the “Extra Rinse” (Extra spülgang) button.
To confirm and enter an option press the “Timer saver” (Express) button.
Setting the language (default setting - GERMAN)
Your washing machine is automatically set to German.
Press the “Extra rinse” (Extra spülgang) button to change the language.
Press the “Timer saver” (Express) button to enter your selection.
When you have entered your chosen language, the display will then ask for the “Time-mode”
to be set.
Setting the time mode (default setting - ABSOLUTE)
There are two ways to select the time mode.
The first is if you wish programme end or delay start to be programmed by starting the actual
time you want the programme to end or begin, e.g., programme to end 18.00. This is called
Absolute Time Mode.
When utilising the programme end function (or start delay), an example can be seen below
when the Absolute Time Mode has been selected in the menu set-up stage.

START/PAUSE Button
START
To start a programme press this button once. The door locked light will illuminate.
The machine will now be sensing the wash load and ask you to please wait.
Example
The Vision panel will after a short delay display the time to complete the programme and then
the wash cycle will commence. Vision calculates the time to the end of the selected
programme based upon a standard 5 kg load. During the cycle, Vision corrects the time to
that applicable to the size and composition of the load.
Example
This display also shows the current phase of the cycle and in the bottom right hand corner,
the current time is displayed.
This display will change throughout the wash programme as the cycle progresses.
PAUSE
The programme may be paused at any time during the wash cycle by holding down the
Start/Pause button for about two seconds and a beep will sound. A message will appear on
the display to inform you that the programme has been paused. To restart the programme
press the Start/Pause button once again. The display will inform you that the programme will

DOOR HANDLE
Press the finger-bar inside
the door handle to open the door
Door open: Aspecial safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately
after the end of the cycle. “Door locked” indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully
closed. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished before opening the door. The
door locked neon will go out and the door may be opened. As a safety measure check that
there is no water evident in the drum.
BIG WASH LOAD button (MAXI BELADUNG)
Hoover has designed a special wash boost system specially for big loads - by selecting this
button, (available on programmes 1 ÷ 11) the volume of water within the selected wash cycle
is increased and the length of time of the programme is extended to improve the wash
performance for the bigger load.
TIMER SAVER button (EXPRESS)
This option can be utilised on cotton and synthetic programmes (1 ÷ 17). By selecting the
Timer saver option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the
programme selected.
PRE-WASH button (VORWÄSCHE)
This option (available on programmes 1÷17) is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and
can be used before selecting the main wash programme. Detergent for this programme
should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled “I” (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.
EXTRA RINSE button (EXTRA SPÜLGANG)
This option (not available for wool programmes) adds more water at the rinsing stage. This
can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue for people with particularly sensitive
skin. Selecting the Extra Rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled
fabrics which need a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that
have a greater tendency to retain detergent.

C
FAST IRON Button (LEICHTBÜGELN)
This option is available on Resistant, Synthetics, Delicates, Woollens and some
Special Programmes (excluding programmes 26-29). When this option is selected for
Resistant, Delicates, Woollens or Handwash programmes the machine will stop and the load
will be held within the water in the drum.
This reduces the creasing thus enabling easier ironing. To continue with the wash cycle the
Fast Iron button must be pressed and the programme will re-start. With the Fast Iron option
selected within the synthetics cycle the programme is completed by a short, very low speed
spin. The laundry may be left in the drum in this condition without the risk of excessive
creasing. If a fuller spin cycle is required select the appropriate spin (see Programme Guide)
and then remove the laundry on completion of the programme.
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.
21
SELECT SPIN button (SCHLEUDERN)
On selecting the wash programme the display will inform you of the maximum
spin speed permitted for that programme. By repeatedly pressing the select spin button the
speed will decrease by increments of 100 rpm. The minimum speed permitted is 400 rpm, or
by continuously pressing the select spin option the spin may be cancelled if desired.
On selecting the required spin speed the display will then inform you of the chosen
programme, its temperature and the newly selected spin speed.
The machine makes a different noise when spinning! This is
because it has a manifold motor for better performance.
CHILD LOCK button (KINDERSICHERUNG)
This is a useful feature to prevent children playing with the option buttons and tampering
with the programme you have set.
After you have set the programme and option buttons you require, press start
and then Child Lock. This “locks” the control panel.
You may cancel this function by pressing the child lock button briefly until you see the
light above the button flash. While this light is flashing, press the “Fast Iron” button – the
display will inform you that the options are no longer locked and further changes can now be
made.
DELAY START/SET END TIME
(STARTZEIT-VORWAHL/ENDZEIT WÄHLEN)
The programme end time/delay start options can be used if you want the washing to be ready
at a later time (but within 24 hours).
NOTE: After selected the programme END TIME/DELAY START press the start button.
1. DELAY START
After selecting the programme, press delay start/set end time button once and press the
hours and minutes buttons (to the left and right) until the required time is set. The display
returns to the programme option if the button is pressed within 5 seconds.
To cancel delay start, hold down the button for 5 seconds.
2. SET END TIME
Press delay start/set end time button twice and press the hours and minutes buttons (to the
left and right) until the required time is set. When entering the programme end option, the
display will show the minimum time which you can set the programme to end by. This time
may only be extended as you require.
NOTE: When using the delay start/set end time functions, only use detergents and laundry
also via the dispenser drawer. Adding detergents etc. to the drum and then leaving them to
stand for long period of time may damage your laundry.
20
It is unlikely that water will be visible in the drum!
This is due to the latest technology that achieves the
same standard of washing and rinsing but with far less
water consumption.

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents
Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
Liquid detergents, 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 through wash.
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.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened 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.
23
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is divided into 3 compartments:
–the first, labelled «I», is for detergent utilised during
Prewash
–the second, labelled «II», is for detergent for main
wash
Note: Some detergents are difficult to remove. For
these, we recommend you use the special dispenser
which is placed in the drum.
–the third, labelled “ ” is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch,
brighteners etc.
Note: only put liquid products in the third compartment.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for
all wash cycles.

N
Programme selector
The washing machine has 5 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 on page 30-31).
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 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.
Wash and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results.
4. WOOLLENS
The programmes are designed for maximum washing at the temperature most suitable to
your woollen garments and their degree of soiling. Always read the wash advice label for the
most suitable temperature.
5. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES - 29 minute Speed Wash, Handwash and Sportswear
SPORTSWEAR
30
The washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme (programme 24). 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 starts with a cold prewash that breaks down and loosens any excess dirt
and then washes at a cool 30°C, rinses and spins slowly for the best care of your heavily
soiled, delicate garments.
Hoover has given sports items their own wash care programme.
HAND WASH
This washing machine also has a gentle Hand Wash programme cycle (programme 25). This
programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand Wash only” on
the fabric care label. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30° C and concludes
with 2 rinses, one for fabric conditioner and a slow spin.
SPEED WASH
R
This washing machine also has a SPEED WASH programme option (Programme 26). This
programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 29 minutes,
with a maximum load of 2 kg and is recommended for lightly soiled items. When selecting the
Speed Wash programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack.
25
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:
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 degree of soiling, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
amount of laundry, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
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 what is shown on pack
exactly as regards 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 special container which is placed in the
drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
24
Main wash
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 in the garments.
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
Wash by hand
Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
–Woollen items must be labelled with the «Pure New Wool» symbol to be washed in the
machine , and must also be labelled «non-matting» or «machine washable».
–Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.

Auto Half Load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system.
This system enables the machine to use only the right 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 .
WHISPER
With Vision,Hoover has made a technology breahthrough by featuring the “WHISPER”
system for extra-quiet washing.
The mission of the New Vision featuring WHISPER is to improve your quality of life.
A number of very important modifications have been introduced to develop WHISPER:
7 sound absorbing panels on the sides of the machine, a sheet of corrugated material on the
bottom, complete soundproofing of the motor, tub made of sound absorbing material
(Silitech).
WHISPER means greater efficiency than other similar, non-soundproofed machines.
Atechnical analysis of the European market reveals that the new Hoover Vision featuring
WHISPER is among the quietest available.
26
Selecting the wash programme
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the front of the machine to
select the most suitable programme.
The programme is selected by turning the programme selector clockwise and aligning the
programme number with the indicator .
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.
Press additional function buttons if you require.
Press the start button. The door locked indicator illuminates and the programme will begin.
When the programme has finished
–the door lock light is lit and the display will read “Door lock activated please wait to open”.
–the door lock light goes out (door lock released) and the display will read “Programme
complete unload the laundry”.
Switch off the machine by turning the control knob to the off position.
–Open the door and remove the laundry.
Disconnect the plug from the mains power supply and turn off the water supply after every use.
29
Note: when sorting laundry
–check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
–In the event of a machine failure during the
warranty period and foreign objects are found to
be the cause of the failure a labour charge may be
made to call out an engineer.
button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
–remove curtain hooks;
pay close attention to the labels on items
–if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
–We recommend that you do not wash a full load of just towelling items as these can
become too heavy since they absorb a lot of water, possibly resulting in a load which is
out of balance (see page 21).
The correct way to wash
Preparing the laundry
A) Select and sort the laundry according
to the wash care labels found
on each garment. Always check the care labels.
Loading the laundry
B) Open the door.
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.
Close the door again, ensuring that no items of
laundry are obstructing the lock, or door seal.
Putting detergent in machine
D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in
the correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and the advice on page 23.
Add any other laundry aids (see page 23). Close the
drawer again.
Liquid detergents that are to be placed directly into the
drum should use the recommended dispensing device.

Transporting/Storing the appliance
for long periods when appliance
is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places, all remaining water
must be completely removed from all hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin until all the water has
emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:
–Cleaning the drawer compartments.
–Cleaning the filter.
Cleaning the drawer compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is advisable to clean
the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives
occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but
without forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for
handling large deposits which could block the discharge
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be
easily retrieved.
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1. Open the lid as shown in fig.
2. Turn the filter anticlockwise until it stops, remove it
and clean it.
3. After cleaning it, reassemble it following the previous
instructions in reverse order.
4. Close the lid.
Attention: if the filter needs
cleaning while there is washing
still in the drum, follow the
instructions on the following page
to empty the water. This will
prevent excessive loss of water
via the filter.

Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check detergent information
on pack) can have the following effects:
–waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a white powder
(zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
–presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric
and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
–The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
–Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
It is unlikely that water will be visible in the drum!
This is due to the latest technology that achieves the
same standard of washing and rinsing but with far less
water consumption.
Important: the water may be very hot!
Power failure
If there is a power failure the wash cycle will be interrupted, the wash programme and
functions will be suspended. When the power is restored, the wash programme and functions
will re-start from the same point and complete the programme.
The load can be removed from the machine during a power failure as follows:
The water can be drained from the machine by:
1. Switch off the machine by the programme dial and at the mains power supply.
Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
2. Carefully move the machine so the rear of the machine is accessible. Please follow the
safety precautions which we recommend under the “safety notes” section of this manual.
3. Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the hose into a bowl on
the floor.
When the bowl is full raise the end of the drain pipe to a height higher than the top of the
appliance to stop the flow of water. Empty and replace the bowl and continue draining the
machine until empty.
