Electricity Supply

WARNING: The appliance must be earthed.
Fuses

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If
you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A)
and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse lift the holder to
vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the
fuse and push fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct
replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of
plug.
WARNING: Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked
position and the top cover firmly replaced.

Changing the Mains Lead

If you have damaged the existing lead and need a new one, contact
Hotpoint Service UK on: 08709 066 066 or
www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the Republic of Ireland on: 1850
302 200). A charge will be made. We strongly advised that fitting a
new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.
Seek professional advice if you need to use an extension lead.

Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate
the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and
safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other
socket.
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead
may not match the colour of the markings which show the different
terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown below:
Green and yellow (Earth)
wire to terminal marked ‘E’,
symbol , or coloured
green and yellow.
Blue (Neutral) wire to
terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.

13A ASTA approved fuse to

supply.

Automatic Features...
Auto half load

Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads.
Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.

Unbalanced load warning

Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and
prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the
load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by
tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the fifth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.
As an indicator to you that this has happened the ‘Final Spin’ indicator light will flash, to advise that no spin has been performed.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or
slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to
help balance the load.

STEP 8

Troubleshooting -

More ‘Troubleshooting information and general product advice can be found on our website, visit: www.theservicecentre.co.uk/help

Washcare Tips:

Do not overload the machine
(maximum load 6kg).
In addition to reducing the
quality of the wash, this may also
damage your laundry and the
machine.
We strongly recommend that you
do not wash underwired bras in
this machine. Should the wires
become detached it could cause
damage to your clothes and the
machine. If the washcare label
states that the bra is machine
washable, then we advise placing
it in a sealed pillow case or a
similar washbag. Remember, you
will be charged for a service call
resulting from a detached bra
wire.
Do not use the machine if the
item to be washed does not have
a wash label.
Before washing laundry we
recommend that you do the
following:
Pre-treat awkward stains with
washable treatments.
Do not wash any items that have
previously been treated with
solvents.
Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings
and close press studs to prevent
tangling.
Empty ALL objects from pockets
as they may damage the clothes
and the machine.

MY MACHINE MAKES A
NOISE OR VIBRATES IN A
SPIN PROGRAMME.

Check all loose items, such as
coins, have been removed
from the laundry.
Have both transit bolts been
removed from the machine?
Has the polystyrene
block been
removed from
underneath the
machine?

Have you adjusted the feet
to stabilise the machine?
See STEP 2: Installation

Close the door. Choose a
programme and then press ‘ON’
Does the ‘door indicator’ light
come on after 2 seconds?

Is the machine plugged in
and switched on?
Is the socket OK? Test with
another appliance to check.
Is the fuse in the plug OK?
Plug the machine in and
turn the socket switch on.
If possible use another socket
for the machine.

MY LAUNDRY HAS NOT
SPUN DRY.

Remember, you will be charged
for a service call to rectify a
malfunction resulting from
objects, such as coins, pens, hair
grips etc. falling from pockets.
Limit the size of absorbent loads
ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give
good washing and rinsing results.
Place small items in a wash bag.
Always follow the care label on
items when choosing the wash
programme.
Wash non-colourfast items or
really dirty laundry separately as
they may affect other items.

Indicator Lights:
MY MACHINE WILL NOT

Check for low temperature and
low pressure of the hot and cold
water supply.

If you are using a detergent flap
ensure it is in the ‘UP’ position for

This means that the machine cannot fill.
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the
inlet hoses are not kinked.

The ‘Wash’ progress indicator light:
If the ‘Wash’ indicator light is flashing:
This means that the programme selector dial has been
moved since the programme started. Return the dial

After Sales Service

“Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back”

“No company is better positioned to offer an after sales service on
a Hotpoint appliance than us - the manufacturer”.
As part of our commitment to you, all Hotpoint appliances have the
added benefit of a fully inclusive parts and labour guarantee for the first
12 months. In addition to this you also have the advantage of free
replacement parts for the first 5 years when fitted by a Hotpoint
engineer. When the 12 months parts and labour guarantee expires we
offer the following after sales service options:

We give you a unique ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ promise - valid
for 90 days - after you have purchased your Hotpoint
appliance. If there is a technical problem simply call Hotpoint
Repair service or visit our web-site at
www.theservicecentre.co.uk and where necessary, we will
arrange for an engineer to call. If the technical problem is not
resolved under this guarantee, we will replace your machine
or, if you prefer, give you your money back.
All Hotpoint appliances carry a fully inclusive 12 month parts
and labour guarantee as well as free replacement parts for the
first 5 years (except microwaves, selected integrated
appliances and cooker hoods, which have a one year
guarantee) provided that they are fitted by a Hotpoint
engineer.
Guarantee terms and conditions
Your guarantee is only applicable in the United
Kingdom or Republic of Ireland and is subject to the
following provisions that your appliance:
Has been installed and used correctly in accordance with
this instruction booklet.
Has been used solely for domestic purposes and is located
on domestic premises (ie. not for commercial or trade
use).
Has been properly connected to a suitable electrical
supply voltage as stated on the appliance rating plate.
Has not been subject to misuse, accident, modified or
repaired by anyone other than one of our own service
engineers.

product,

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 risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug and cut
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.
