- Standout Hygiene: The steam function is brilliant for sanitising linens and uniforms.
- Consideration: Best for high-demand businesses, might be overkill for very small cafés.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tearoom in York was struggling with the daily laundry demands, outsourcing their tablecloths and aprons at a significant cost. They needed an in-house solution that could handle tough food stains without damaging their delicate, branded linens.
"We were a bit hesitant to manage laundry ourselves, but this machine has been brilliant. The ActiveCare feature gets out tea and scone stains effortlessly, and the large drum means we do one load a day instead of three. It's quiet, efficient, and the linens have never been softer."
Robert Mills – Owner
By bringing laundry in-house with the Hotpoint ActiveCare, The Copper Kettle cut its monthly laundry expenses by over 60% and gained complete control over their stock and quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before you start, make sure to remove the transit bolts from the back of the machine. These hold the drum in place during delivery and will cause serious damage if left in.
- Place the machine on a flat, solid floor and adjust the feet until it's perfectly level. This prevents it from vibrating or 'walking' during a spin cycle.
- Connect the water inlet and drain hoses securely, ensuring there are no kinks and the connections are watertight.
- Run a hot, empty cycle first (a 'service wash') to clean out any manufacturing residues from the drum and pipes.
Keeping It Going
- Once a month, run a hot service wash with a good quality machine cleaner to prevent build-up of detergent and limescale.
- Regularly pull out the detergent drawer and clean it thoroughly in warm, soapy water to stop mould and blockages.
- Wipe down the rubber door seal after each use and check for any debris like coins or hairpins to prevent damage and bad odours.
- Every few months, check and clean the filter (usually located behind a small flap at the bottom of the machine) to ensure proper drainage.
