Detergent drawer
Lift slightly, pull out and rinse with warm water; do this regularly.
Pump filter
Disconnect from the mains. Remove the front panel with a screwdriver, unscrew the cap anticlockwise (a small leak is normal), clean the housing, screw it back and refit the panel.
Door and drum
After washing, leave the door slightly open to avoid odours.
Emergency door opening
In a power cut: unplug, make sure the water is below the door (if necessary drain it through the tube into a bucket), remove the panel, pull the lock tab down and open the door.
Tap and hose
Close the tap after washing; check the hose at least once a year.
Where the data comes from
- Hotpoint-Ariston ARSL 105: Operating manual (RU/CIS, 12 pp.), scan on McGrp, p. 1-12 (использованы 3-11) (manual archive)
Assumptions
- The order of positions on the programme knob is assumed ascending (1-12, then A-D). The table on p. 6 lists special programmes 7-12 first, then 1-6, then A-D, and the printed order on the knob is not shown. Angles are nominal.
- Positions 2 and 4 appear in the table as two lines at different temperatures. programs[] holds the higher-temperature variant; the lower one and its time are in the note.
- The values on the temperature knob (cold, 30, 40, 60, 90) and spin knob (0, 600, 800, 1000) are derived from the programme table and the text on maximum speeds; the manual gives no intermediate marks.
- The order of the functions (delay, easy iron, extra rinse, super wash) follows the description on p. 7; the manual shows the order of the buttons on the panel without labels.
- The cycle.steps phases are split in proportion to the total duration from the table (the sum equals the table). Heating is not added separately. The machine is electronic and the manual does not give the times of individual phases.
- Insert 4 for bleach (placed in compartment 1) is not shown as a separate tray compartment; bleaching is allowed only with programmes 2, 3, 7 (p. 8).
- The night cycle and baby clothes are recorded as ending with a stop with water in the drum, based on the text under the table. The end of the cycle for programme 11 (silk) is not described directly in the manual.
- The panel colours (light plastic) are typical for the series; no photo of this particular machine was used. LED colours other than those stated (green Start, orange pause) are not named.
- The manual does not give the year of manufacture; the range is estimated from the series.
Not in the manual
- No labels for the positions on the temperature and spin knobs and no direction of rotation for the programme knob.
- No phase durations, water volume or heater power; technical data: load 1-5 kg, drum 40 l, spin up to 1000 rpm, pressure 0.05-1 MPa (p. 3).
- The delay duration per step is not given (it says "up to 12 hours").
- The table on p. 6 does not state the compartment for prewash: for programme 1 compartment 1 is assumed from the general tray description on p. 8.
Time is an estimate from the timer steps and heater power: heating 8 l of water from 15 °C to the selected temperature with a 2000 W (not stated in the manual, typical value used) heater. Real time depends on tap water temperature, load and mains voltage.
