Connecting the fill hose
This machine has an inlet hose with 19 mm (3/4") threaded ferrules fitted to the ends to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water supply.
Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and ensure that the sealing washers are in place inside the hose connectors.
Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing installations.
Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.
Do not trap or kink the hoses.
Connect the straight end of the hose to the stop taps.
Acqua-stop (fitted to certain models)
The fill hose supplied with this machine has a double skin and incorporates a water valve (A). If the inner hose bursts the valve will automatically shut off the water supply to prevent flooding. The indicator turns red (B).
Should this happen, turn off the water supply immediately and have a new fill hose fitted by Hoover Service.
If the inlet hose's connection point is changed, check that the 3/4" threaded ferrule on the inlet hose is firmly attached to the electrovalve connector.

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.
Description of Controls
All the controls on your product's control panel are listed as follows. The function buttons are selected when the buttons are pressed in. Carefully read the relevant descriptions detailed below:
MARCHA/PARADA
After selecting the programme press the MARCHA/PARADA button to start the machine. At the end of the cycle press again to reset the button and switch off the appliance.
Power on Power off
Apertura Puerta
A special safety device prevents the door from being opened immediately after the end of the cycle. 'Bloqueo Puerta' indicator light is illuminated when the door is fully closed. Wait for 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished and the 'Bloqueo Puerta' neon has gone off before opening the door. As a safety measure check that there is no water evident in the drum.
Intensivo
On selecting the intensive wash option prior to selecting your desired wash programme, this allows approximately an additional 90 minutes of gentle wash action at 35^ C to the start of the selected programme, thus enabling an intensive wash. For biological detergents, this option is available on cottons and synthetics wash programmes.
Lavado Rápido
This option can be utilised on cottons and synthetic programmes. By selecting the express wash option, the wash time may be reduced by up to 50 minutes, depending on the programme selected.
Super Aclarado
This option causes more water to be added at the rinsing stage. This can help to avoid skin irritation from detergent residues for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Super Aclarado 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.
Planchado Rápido
This option is available on cottons, synthetics, delicates, woollens and the “Lavado a Mano” special programme. When this option is selected for cottons, woollens and the “Lavado a Mano” programmes, the machine will stop in the final rinse stage 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, press the “Planchado Rápido” button and the programme will re-start.
When the option is selected for synthetics programmes, the selected 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 spin cycle is required please select the appropriate spin (see Programme guide).
When the option is selected for delicates programmes, the machine stops in the final rinse stage and the load will be held within the water in the drum. Thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing. Press the “Planchado Rápido” button to continue with the programme. The machine will then pump out the remaining water and the programme will conclude with a low speed spin for approximately 15 seconds.
PROGRAMME Selector
Note: never turn the knob anti-clockwise (Turn it clockwise and do not press the Marcha/Parada button before selecting the programme).
Should it be noticed after commencing the wash cycle that the incorrect programme has been selected, switch off the machine for a few seconds. After the time has passed you may then continue to select the desired programme and resume with the wash cycle.
TEMPERATURA
Can be turned in either direction
The washing machine is equipped with a Wash Temperature selector which can be set at the temperature you require. We recommend that the temperature shown on wash care garments should never be exceeded. The most suitable temperature and cycle for each type of fabric is also shown in the programme guide table within this manual.
To protect fabrics in the case where variable temperature has been accidentally set higher than those within each programme (see programme guide table), the machine will lower the temperature automatically.
Centrifugado
By adjusting the control it is possible to reduce the maximum speed to suit your needs and help reduce creasing of fabrics.
Turn the spin speed selector knob until the ● aligns with the required spin.
The tables in the washing section describe the various programmes and illustrate the number or symbol to select for them.
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.
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.
- the third, labelled “ ✉” is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.
text_image
w Main wash powder Pra-wash powder Fabric conditionerNote: some forms of detergents are difficult to dispense from the drawer e.g. concentrated powders. For these, we suggest 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.
The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles.
Note: only put special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners, etc., in the third compartment.
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.
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!
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 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 4 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. ALGODÓN
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. SINTÉTICOS
Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The delicate action spin (at 400 rpm) minimises creasing.
3. DELICADOS
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. PROGRAMAS ESPECIALES
LAVADO A MANO
This washing machine also has a gentle Lavado a Mano programme cycle (programme 10). 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.
RÁPIDO
This washing machine also has a RÁPIDO programme option (Programme R). This programme allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 29 minutes, with a maximum load of 3kg and is recommended for lightly soiled items. When selecting the RÁPIDO programme, please note that we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack. Do not use fabric conditioner with this programme.
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.
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:
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 if they are to be washed in the machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable". Please check the laundry item for the label.
- 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, non colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40^ .
Do not wash
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 for the call out of 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.
text_image
OK- We do not recommend washing a full load of just towelling items as they absorb a lot of water and may become too heavy for the drum.
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 detergent advice. Add any other laundry aids (see page 15). Close the drawer again. Liquid detergents that are to be placed directly into the drum should use the recommended dispensing device.

When washing heavily soiled laundry it is recommended the load is reduced by about 1-1.5 kg. By doing so the laundry is allowed to circulate more freely.
Energy label data based on programme 3 tested in accordance with EN60456.
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
Clean the compartments occasionally to remove detergents and additives.
A) To do this you just need to pull the drawer out firmly from the machine, but without forcing it.
B) Clean the compartments under running water.
C) Replace the drawer.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter to prevent items such as coins, buttons, etc. blocking the discharge hose. The procedure for removing foreign objects from the filter is as follows:
- Remove the kickplate by gently pulling it from the bottom in an outwards and upwards direction.
- Use the kickplate to collect the water still in the filter.
- Turn the filter anticlockwise, remove it and clean it. After cleaning the filter, return it to its original position and lock by turning clockwise. Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned frequently, at least once a month.

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.
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.
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:
- Switch off the machine both via the Marcha/Parada button and on the mains power supply. Remove the plug from the mains power supply socket.
- 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.
- Unclip the drain hose from the rear panel of the machine and lower the hose into a bowl on the floor.
Important: the water may be very hot!
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.
- Once the machine is fully drained of water, clip the hose to the rear of the machine. Press the APERTURA PUERTA button and remove the load.
The door can be opened approximately 2 minutes after the power failure by simply pressing the APERTURA PUERTA button. Do not force open the door.
Important: the water and the load may be very hot!
