Product Information
Full details
The Hotpoint NSWR 946 WK UK is a freestanding front-load washing machine designed for busy households seeking efficient and effective stain removal. Its standout feature is the Anti-Stain 40 program, which tackles tough marks without pre-treatment, while the Anti-Allergy cycle offers a hygienic clean for sensitive individuals. A key caveat is the 1400 RPM spin speed, which, while fast, may require careful load balancing to minimize vibration.

FAQs
How do I use the Anti-Stain 40 program?
Select the 'Anti-Stain 40' program from the control panel. Load your laundry, ensuring it's suitable for a 40°C wash, and press start. The machine will automatically adjust settings to tackle common stains.
What is the benefit of the Anti-Allergy cycle?
The Anti-Allergy cycle washes at higher temperatures and includes extra rinses to remove up to 99.99% of common allergens and bacteria, making it ideal for sensitive skin or households with allergy sufferers.
How long does the Full Load 45' program take?
The Full Load 45' program is designed to wash a full 9 kg load in approximately 45 minutes, offering a quick solution for large laundry loads.
Can I reduce the wash time for smaller loads?
Yes, the 'Rapid option' allows you to reduce the cycle time by up to 50% for smaller loads, helping you get laundry done even faster when needed.
What is the maximum spin speed, and what are its implications?
The maximum spin speed is 1400 RPM. This high speed extracts more water from clothes, reducing drying time. However, it can generate noise and vibration, so ensuring the machine is level and the load is balanced is important.
Is this washing machine suitable for small spaces?
The machine has standard dimensions (Width: 595 mm, Depth: 605 mm, Height: 850 mm). While it's a front-load model which can sometimes be placed under a counter (check specific installation requirements), ensure you have adequate clearance for the door opening and ventilation.
How do I clean the washing machine?
Regularly wipe down the exterior and the door seal. Clean the detergent drawer monthly. Periodically run a hot drum cleaning cycle (e.g., 90°C Cotton) or use a specific drum cleaner. Don't forget to clean the drain pump filter every few months.
Troubleshooting
Washing machine does not start.
Check if the power cord is plugged in securely and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the door is fully closed and the Start Delay function is not activated.
Washing machine is not draining.
Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain pump filter, as it may be clogged with debris.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle.
Ensure the machine is level on the floor. Check that transit bolts have been removed. Distribute the load evenly within the drum.
Water is not filling the drum.
Verify that the water tap is turned on. Check the water inlet hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the selected program requires water.
Error code displayed on the screen.
Consult the user manual for a specific explanation of the error code. Common solutions involve checking water supply, drainage, or door closure.
Poor cleaning performance.
Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for the load size and water hardness. Check that the selected program is appropriate for the fabric type and level of soiling. Clean the detergent drawer.
