This can be adjusted using the "Spin Speed" button on the control panel. After the spin cycle is finished, open the door of the washing machine and remove your freshly cleaned laundry. Hang or dry clothes as needed. Regularly clean the detergent dispenser to prevent any buildup or mold growth that could affect performance over time.

"How do I properly load clothes into the Hotpoint BIWMHG91484 washing machine to ensure effective cleaning and prevent damage to the machine or clothing?"

To ensure effective cleaning and prevent damage to both your Hotpoint BIWMHG91484 washing machine and your clothes, here are some steps you should follow when loading your laundry:

1. Check the load size chart: Before adding any items to the machine, refer to the load size chart provided in the user manual. This will help you determine how much clothing you can add based on the weight and type of fabric. Overloading the machine can result in poor cleaning performance or damage to the motor and pump. Separate your clothes: Sort your laundry into different piles based on color, fabric type, and soiling level. This will help prevent color bleeding and protect delicate items from becoming tangled with heavier or rougher fabrics. Use a pre-wash cycle: If you have heavily soiled or stained clothing, consider using the machine's pre-wash feature to loosen dirt and grime before starting the main wash cycle. This can help prevent spots and discoloration on your clothes. Add detergent correctly: Measure out the appropriate amount of laundry detergent based on the load size chart and add it to the machine's dedicated detergent dispenser (if available). If your machine doesn't have a separate dispenser, add the detergent directly into the drum or at the bottom of the water intake. Avoid using too much detergent as this can result in excess suds and leave residue on your clothes. Distribute clothes evenly: As you add clothes to the machine, distribute them evenly around the drum to ensure they are washed thoroughly. Be careful not to overcrowd the machine or pack items too tightly, as this can prevent proper water flow and lead to uneven cleaning. Run a hot wash for heavily soiled items: If you have heavily soiled clothing, consider running a hot wash cycle (up to 90°C) to ensure effective cleaning. However, be aware that using high temperatures too frequently may shorten the life of some fabrics and cause shrinkage or discoloration. Use the machine's features: Take advantage of your Hotpoint BIWMHG91484 washing machine's advanced features to help protect your clothes and prevent damage to the machine. For example, the machine may have a special cycle for delicate fabrics, or a quick wash feature for lightly soiled items. By following these steps, you can ensure that your clothing is cleaned effectively while also protecting both your clothes and your Hotpoint BIWMHG91484 washing machine from damage.
