Hoover has designed a special wash boost system specially for 6kg loads - by selecting the 6 kg option button, the volume of water within the selected wash cycle and the length of time of the programme is increased to improve the wash performance for the bigger load. Express Wash button This option can be utilised on cotton 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. Pre-Wash button This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used before selecting the main wash programme. Detergent for this programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "I" (Please refer to Detergent Drawer Section of manual). We recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack and fabric conditioner should not be used for this programme. Extra Rinse Button This option adds more water at the rinsing stage. This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue for people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the Extra rinse button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which needs a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain detergent.
