Hotpoint 6 kg BHWD129 Details
The Hotpoint BHWD129 is an integrated washer-dryer designed to sit in a run of kitchen cabinets behind a wooden furniture panel. The door mounting kit includes two hinges, two hinge supports, a magnet, a magnet plate, a rubber plug, four spacers and four sets of screws. A drilling template lets you hinge the panel on either side, although Hotpoint recommends the left, so it matches the machine's own door.
Before installation, remove the four transit screws and the rubber bush with its spacer from the rear, then seal the holes with the plastic plugs supplied. Keep these parts in case the machine is moved later. If the transit bolts or polystyrene packaging are left in place, the machine will vibrate heavily during spin, which is a common fault on new installations.
The control panel has a WASH CYCLE knob, a TEMPERATURE knob, a DRYING knob, function buttons with indicator lights and a START/PAUSE button. Progress lights show the Wash, Rinse, Spin, Dry and End phases. A DOOR LOCKED light shows when the door can be opened. The machine will not let you set a temperature above the maximum for the chosen cycle, and you can set any cycle to a cold wash.
The cycle range includes Cottons, Synthetics, Fastwash 60', a Baby cycle, Shirts, Wool and Silk. The Ready to Wear programme washes and dries up to 1 kg of lightly soiled laundry in about 60 minutes. Because it is fully automatic, you cannot set a manual drying time or dryness level with it. At the end of the Baby and Silk cycles, the drum turns slowly or the laundry is left to soak, to reduce creasing.
The Eco wash function does not heat the water. Instead, it uses stronger wash action and water optimisation to finish in the same average time as a standard cycle, and Hotpoint recommends liquid detergent with it. Super Wash uses more water at the start and runs longer for heavy soiling. Extra rinse removes more detergent, which helps people with sensitive skin. If a function cannot be used with the selected programme, its indicator light flashes.
Before every spin, the load balancing system turns the drum at a speed slightly above the wash speed to spread the laundry evenly. If the load stays unbalanced, the machine spins at a lower speed or redistributes the load instead of spinning. Mixing large and small items helps. A single heavy item, such as a duvet, may cause longer cycle times.
The detergent drawer has a main wash compartment and a fabric softener compartment. Do not put detergent in the middle compartment. Each drying cycle ends with a cool-down phase so that the fabrics are not damaged. Keep the water tap on during drying. Do not tumble dry foam rubber, waterproof textiles or items cleaned with flammable solvents.
Maintenance is simple. The pump cleans itself, but you can reach a pre-chamber at the bottom to remove coins or buttons that fall into it. Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there is a power cut, a manual release tab lets you open the porthole door. If the machine smells, run a 90°C service wash with detergent and no laundry.
