Frequently Asked Questions - AVTL 104 (EU) Hotpoint Ariston

How do I install the washing machine?

Unpack the machine, remove the four transport screws and rubber washers from the rear, and seal the gaps with plastic plugs. Level the machine by adjusting the front feet (max 2° tilt). Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and the drain hose to a drain duct or sink (65-100 cm high). Plug into a grounded socket.

How do I clean the detergent dispenser?

Press the large button on the front of the dispenser and pull it upward. Remove the siphons from compartments 1 and 2, clean them under running water with a brush. Rinse the dispenser, reinsert the siphons, and click the dispenser back into place.

What should I do if the washing machine won't start?

Ensure the appliance is plugged in, the lid is properly closed, and the power is on. Press the ON/OFF button, select a programme, and press START/RESET. If the problem persists, check for power failure or call service.

How can I fix excessive foam during washing?

Reduce the amount of detergent used, and ensure it is suitable for machine washing (look for 'for washing machines' on the label). Avoid using hand-wash detergent. Use less detergent for soft water.

What does the rapid flashing of the ON/OFF lid lock LED mean?

If the ON-OFF/LID LOCK LED flashes rapidly together with at least one other LED, it indicates an abnormality. Switch off the machine and unplug it for about 1 minute, then restart. If the issue persists, contact an authorised service centre.

Can I wash wool garments in this machine?

Yes, use programme 10 (Wool, 40°C) for all 'Hand wash' wool items. Max load 1 kg. Use a specific wool detergent. The machine is Woolmark Platinum Care certified.

How do I clean the pump if it gets blocked?

Unplug the machine and ensure the wash cycle is finished. Remove the plinth at the bottom front by pulling it from the side. Unscrew the pump cover anticlockwise (some water may spill). Clean any objects (coins, buttons) inside, screw the cover back on, and reattach the plinth.

Why does the washing machine vibrate during spin cycle?

Check if the machine is level (adjust front feet). Ensure the transport screws were removed. Make sure the machine is not touching walls or cabinets. Also, redistribute the laundry load evenly.

How can I reduce creasing on fabrics?

Use the Easy Iron function (button marked with an iron symbol). This option ends the cycle with the laundry left to soak. Press START/RESET to complete the cycle and drain the water. This reduces creasing and makes ironing easier.

What is the recommended spin speed for different fabrics?

Cotton: up to 1000 rpm; Synthetics: up to 800 rpm; Wool: up to 600 rpm; Silk: no spin (use programme 11). You can lower the spin speed or exclude spin by selecting the corresponding symbol.

!Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Warning: should the screws be re-used, make sure you fasten the shorter ones at the top.

!Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

1. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

2. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page).
!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

Diagram of a pipe connection with a bulb and connector (no text or symbols)

alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;
• the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right);
• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical details table (on the right);
• the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

! The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

! When the washing machine is installed, the main socket must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
! The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.
! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

Notes

For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.

Special programme

Daily 30' (programme 9 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (9 at 30°C), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woollen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg. We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 6).

The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( )

Setting the spin speed

Turn the SPIN SPEED knob to set the spin speed for the programme selected.

The maximum spin speeds for each programme are as follows:

Programmes Maximum spin speed

Cottone 1000 rpm

Synthetics 800 rpm

Wool 600 rpm

Silk no

The spin speed can be lowered, or the spin cycle can be excluded altogether by selecting symbol.

The washing machine will automatically prevent you from selecting a spin speed higher than the maximum speed for each programme.

! To avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed.

When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency.

If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning.

The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

Functions

To enable a function:

1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;

2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set.

Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may

in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see page 10.

compartment 4: Bleach

! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 .. To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into compartment 4 and set the Rinse programme 📋 (for cotton fabrics) or delicate Rinse 🌐 (for synthetic fabrics).

Preparing your laundry

- Divide your laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label. - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

- Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

- Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 11 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.

Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

Woolmark Platinum Care

As gentle as a hand wash.

WOOLMARK PLATINUM CARE

Hotpoint Ariston sets a new standard of superior performance that has been endorsed by The Woolmark Company with

the prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care brand. Look for the Woolmark Platinum Care logo on the washing machine to ensure you can safely and effectively wash wool garments labelled as "hand wash"

(M.0303):

Set programme 10 for all "Hand wash" garments, using the appropriate detergent (max load 1 Kg).

! The washing machine was designed and built in compliance with the applicable international safety regulations. The following information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance has been designed for non-professional, household use and its functions must not be changed.
• This washing machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out yourself.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.
  • Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading your laundry into the washing machine, make sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.
• Disposal of old electrical appliances The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately

in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

- Disposing of an old washing machine: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment.

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60^ instead of 90^ or one at 40^ instead of 60^ will save up to 50% on energy.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.

GB

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for your appliance door and drum

• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To recover any objects that have fallen into the pre-chamber:

Pure technical diagram showing a structural beam with two downward arrows indicating force or displacement (no text or symbols)

1. remove the plinth at the bottom on the front side of the washing machine by pulling from the side with your hands (see diagram); (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
3. clean the interior thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

Disassembly:

Press lightly on the large button on the front of the detergent dispenser and pull it upwards (fig. 1).

Cleaning:

Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them.

Reassembly:

Do not forget to reinsert the pair of siphons into the special housings and then to replace the dispenser into its seat, clicking it into place (fig. 4, 2 and 1).
