Hotpoint AQUALTIS user manual

For most Ariston washing machines, including the Hotpoint Aqualtis, you should put the washing powder in the compartment marked 'II' in the detergent drawer. This drawer is typically located on the front of the machine, usually on the left-hand side.
The 'II' compartment is used for the main wash. If there is pre-wash function, you should put a smaller amount of detergent in the compartment marked 'I'.
Fabric softener or liquid starch should be placed in the compartment marked with a flower symbol.
Remember to not overfill the compartments and to make sure all products are designed for machine use. Always check the instructions of your specific model as they may vary.

There could be several reasons why your Hotpoint Aqualtis washing machine keeps adding time to the cycle. Here are a few possible explanations:
1. Uneven load: If the load inside the machine is distributed unevenly, it can cause the machine to go off balance and activate the automatic rebalancing feature. This can lead to additional time being added to the cycle as the machine tries to redistribute the load.
2. Water temperature issues: If there are problems with the water temperature, such as it being too cold, the machine may extend the wash cycle to compensate and ensure proper cleaning.
3. Sensor malfunction: The machine's sensors, which detect factors like load size, water level, or dirtiness of clothes, may malfunction and provide inaccurate information. As a result, the machine may continuously adjust the cycle length based on these faulty readings.
4. Water pressure problems: Low water pressure can affect the machine's performance, causing it to take longer to fill or drain. This can result in increased cycle times.
5. Malfunctioning control board: A faulty control board can cause various issues, including inaccurate time calculations. If the control board is malfunctioning, it may not accurately estimate the time required for the cycle and keep adding additional time.
If your washing machine keeps adding time to the cycle regularly, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's manual or contact Hotpoint customer support for troubleshooting assistance. They will be able to guide you through specific solutions based on your model and the exact issue you are facing.

There could be several reasons why your Hotpoint Aqualtis washing machine is not turning on. Here are a few common issues you can check:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the washing machine is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet and that the outlet is receiving power. You can try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm if it is working.
2. Circuit breaker: Check if the circuit breaker responsible for your washing machine has tripped. If it has, reset it by switching it off and then back on.
3. Door lock: Most washing machines have a safety feature that prevents them from starting if the door is not securely closed. Make sure that the door is fully closed and that the latch is engaging properly. If the door lock is faulty or broken, it may need to be replaced.
4. Control panel settings: Double-check that you have selected the correct program, options, and settings on the control panel. If there is a problem with the control panel or its buttons, it may require professional attention.
5. Timer or delay start feature: If you have activated a timer or delay start function on your machine, ensure that it hasn't been set to a later time or that the timer hasn't expired.
If none of these steps solve the issue, it is recommended that you consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance.
