EN RINSE HOLD BUTTON The "Rinse hold" function minimizes creases as much as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics. MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics. At Hoover we regularly test many different types of detergent to assess which give the best wash results in our machines. We found only one brand always lives up to our exacting standards and provides outstanding cleaning across a broad range of dirt and stains, as well as providing high levels of fabric care. That's why Hoover gave Ariel their official seal of approval. A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance. MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE 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 loads shown below: Cotton and linen 5 kg Mixed 2 kg Very delicate 1, 5 kg Wool 1 kg Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads. SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry. Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme. This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing. In this way it is also possible to obtain a "personalized" wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times.
