DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL

“Kg MODE”(Function active only on Cotton and Synthetics programmes)Through every wash phase “Kg MODE” allows to monitorinformation on the wash load in the drum.So, as soon as the “Kg MODE” is set in motion, in the first 4minutes of the wash, it:o adjusts the amount of water requiredo determines the length of the wash cycleo controls rinsingaccording to the type of fabric selected to be washed it:o adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for the type of fabricbeing washedo recognises the presence of lather, increasing, if necessary, theamount of water during rinsingo adjusts the spin speed according to the load, thus avoidingany imbalance.In this way “Kg MODE” is able to decide, by itself, the mostsuitable programme for each individual wash from thehundreds of possible wash combinations.“Kg MODE” meets the need for easy use by permitting asimplified programme selection. In fact, the user need only tellthe machine the type of fabric in the drum and the degree ofsoiling, to obtain a perfect wash with the highest level of dryingpossible with a spin which really cares for your clothes.

PREWASH BUTTON

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

STAIN BLASTER BUTTON

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

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

EXAMPLE:

A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.

Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILEDCOTTON (tough stains should be removed with suitable stainremoval).

It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articlesin towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and becometoo heavy.

● Open the detergent drawer.

● Put 120 g in the main wash compartment marked 2.

● Put 50 ml of the desired additive in the additivescompartment ✿✿ .

● Close the detergent drawer.

MAX 5 kg

IMPORTANTNEVER OPEN THE DOOR AFTER THE DRYING CYCLEHAS BEGUN - WAIT UNTIL THE COOL DOWN PERIODPROVIDED FOR BY THE CYCLE.

Only dry pre-spun laundry

The washer/dryer can perform two types of drying:

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

Advisory noteDuring drying phase the drum will accelerate to a higherspeed to distribute the load and to optimize the dryingperformance

2 Mixed fabrics (synthetics/cotton), synthetic fabrics.

DRYING CYCLE

● Open door.

● Fill with up to 5 kg - in case of large items (e.g. sheets) orvery absorbent items (e.g. towels or jeans), it is a good idea toreduce the load.

● Close door.

● Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the washer dryersPress the drying programme selection button (P)The cottons drying programme indicator lights up.Select the degree of dryness that you require with the button“drying selection”.

● This ranges from Extra Dry ( ) for bath towels andbathrobes, through Cup board Dry ( ) for items that willbe put away without ironing, to iron dry ( ) that leaves thelaundry suitable for ironing.

If you wish to select a timed drying cycle, press the “dryingselection” button until the required time indicator lights up.

CHAPTER 12

DRYINGTo minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should beobserved:

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

● Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially whenexposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The itemsbecome warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidationcreates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can becomehot enough to catch fire. Piling, stackingor storing oil affected items can prevent heat from escaping andso create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that containvegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair careproducts be placed ina tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extradetergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The 'cooldown' cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce thetemperature of the items.They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled orstacked while hot.

● Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soakedin or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or otherflammable or explosive substances should not be placed in atumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used indomestic 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) orsimilarly textured rubber like materials should not be dried in atumble dryer on a heat setting.Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire byspontaneous combustion.

● Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in atumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless thispractice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of thefabric softener or product.

● Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should notbe placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer canresult if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. Whenavailable a drying rack could be usedfor such items.

● Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies' waterproofnapkin 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 beplaced in a tumble dryer.

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

WARNING:Indications given are general, therefore some practice is neededfor the best drying results. We recommend setting a lower dryingtime than indicated, when first using, so as to establish the degreeof dryness required. We recommend not to dry fabrics that frayeasily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, to avoid air ductclogging.The water is then conveyed to the drain circuit, wich is sealed andtherefore, no steam can be released outside.

FILTER CLEANINGThe washing-machine is equipped with a special filter toretain large foreign matter which could clog up the drain,such as coins, buttons, etc. These can, therefore, easily berecovered. The procedures for cleaning the filter are asfollows:

● Open the flap

● Only available on certain models:Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drainthe water into a container.

● Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel belowthe filtercap to collect the small amount of water likely to be insidethe pump

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

● Remove and clean.

● After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end ofthe filter clockwise. Then follow all procedures describedabove in reverse order.

REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFTSTANDING

For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing forlong periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should beemptied of all remaining water.

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

Repeat the same operation with the water inlet hose.

If the fault should persist, contact a Hoover Customer Service Centre. For prompt servicing, give themodel of the washing machine, to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside of the portholeor on the guarantee certificate.Important1 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 doesnot compromise the efficiency of the rinses.

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