This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final rinse.

Preparing the wash cycle

Preparing your garments for washing

- Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment's wash care label. (See separate section on wash care symbols).

- Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling.

- Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.

- Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins etc).

Line drawing of a hand holding a small object, possibly a device or tool, with no visible text or symbols.

- Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the wash.

- Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out before being washed in the appliance.

o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.

- Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the appliance.

- Coloured items and whites should be washed in separate wash cycles.

o New garments often contain an excess of

dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.

o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed inside the machine.

Detergents and conditioners

The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on

• The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent.
• The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
• The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the water.

Liquid detergent

If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the detergent manufacturer. All instructions on the detergent packaging should be followed.

Water softening agents

If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.

When using any detergent or water softening agent, the recommendations of the manufacturers should be followed.

Program description

Cotton

- The cotton program is designed for maximum washing and rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the program guarantees the laundry is rinsed thoroughly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.

- The cotton programs can include a pre-wash, if the pre-wash button (E) is pressed when selecting the cycle.

Mixed

- The main wash and rinse gives the best results due to the rotation rhythms of the drum and the water levels.

○ A gentle spin ensures the fabrics become less creased.

Delicates

40^ C

• This cycle alternates washing and soaking and is recommended for very delicate fabrics.
• The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.

40°C

• This cycle enables you to thoroughly wash woollen garments without damaging them.
  o The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses.

30°C Silk

- This program allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as "Hand-wash only" and laundry items made from silk on the fabric label.

- This cycle has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 final rinses and no final spin.

- This program carries out 3 rinses with an intermediate spin which can be reduced or excluded using the spin speed control knob (H).

- The cycle can be used for rinsing any type of fabric or after hand-washing. This program can also be used as a bleaching cycle.

- The spin program carries out a maximum spin which can be reduced using the spin speed control knob (H).

- This program drains out the water.

- This program enables you to wash together different types of fabrics e.g. cotton and synthetic fast coloureds.

- The cycle washes with considerable energy saving by using a temperature of 40°C and alternating spin action with soaking phases.

30'

- The 30 minute rapid program allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes with a temperature of 30°C.

- When using th is cycle it is recommended to use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

Wash program guidance

• The washing machine automatically selects a spin speed for a particular wash program. However it is possible to reduce the spin speed by using the spin reduction feature.
• Important: You should make sure that the selected spin speed is appropriate for the garments that you are washing.

If you use the spin reduction feature, you can make the machine not go into a spin cycle. If you pick this option, then the machine will stop with water in the drum.

- Important: Before opening the door of the appliance, you MUST select the drain program to clear this water.

- The LCD display shows an approximate time remaining for the selected wash cycle. Please note that factors external to the machine, e.g. the temperature of your water supply, your water pressure etc. can affect the time it takes for the wash cycle to complete.

Selecting a wash program

• Load your laundry and put detergent in the relevant compartment of the soap drawer.
• Close the porthole door firmly.
• Select the most appropriate wash program for the garments that you are washing, by turning the program selection knob (K).
• Select any program options by using the pre-wash button (E), extra rinse button (F) or anti-crease button (G).
• Any program option that you select, will affect the length of time that the wash cycle will take to complete.

Alter the spin speed, if required, using the spin speed control knob (H) or change the wash temperature by using the wash temperature control knob (I).

• Press the Start / Pause button (C).
• After approximately 5 seconds, you will hear your washing machine start the wash cycle.

- If there is a power failure or the plug is pulled out of the socket when a wash cycle is in progress, once power has been restored, the wash program will continue.

- Whilst the wash program is in progress, the time remaining to the end of the wash cycle will appear on the display.

Cancelling or pausing a wash program

To stop a wash program once a wash cycle is in progress, you should press and hold the Start / Pause button (C) for about 2 seconds.
- To cancel the program, turn the program selection kn ob (K) to the OFF position.
- If you wish to add or remove items the door will remain locked for two minutes before it is possible to open the door.
- Close the door and press the Start / Pause button (C) to continue the wash cycle.

Before opening the porthole door, you MUST drain the appliance; otherwise there may still be water in the drum when you open the door.

Delay start feature

Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to pause the start of a wash cycle until a later time. You can delay the start time by 3, 6 or 9 hours.

• Follow the process listed under "Selecting a wash program".
  Before pressing the Start / Pause button (C), you should select the length of time that you want to delay the wash program for by pressing the delay start button (D). The relevant LED will light on the display to show the set delay time.
• Press the Start / Pause button (C) to begin the delay countdown. The indicator light for the chosen delay time will stop blinking and remain on.
• At the end of the required delay time, the chosen program will begin.

To cancel a time delay that has been set, you should press and hold the delay start button (D) until the indicator light goes OFF and the stop light blinks.

- You can then start the program manually by pressing the Start / Pause button (C) or switch the appliance off by turning the program selection knob (K) to the OFF position.

Saving energy when using your washing machine

To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent, we recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine but without exceeding the recommended maximum load size. Up to 50% of energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes.

○ Only use the pre-wash function with particularly dirty loads. Energy savings of 5% to 15% can be made by not selecting the pre-wash option for normal soiled laundry.

○ Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than 90°C.

Automatic consumption reduction

- The washing machine is fitted with an automatic consumption reduction system which enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load size.

- This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the minimum temperature required without compromising the washing and rinsing performance in any way.

- The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of laundry which ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and saying money.

Removing stains

Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine.

• Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or grass.
  o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.

Stain removal rules

• Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
  Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
• Washing and drying can fix some stains.
• When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• If you need to use a stain remover, put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead of through it.

Stain removal guide

	Stain	Removal	Method
	Alcoholic beverages	The with cold water first, then wiped with glycerine and water and rinsed with water mixed with vinegar.

aintenance and cleaning M

In daily use

Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.

- Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the door seal.

- Close the water tap.

- We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains supply, when it is not in use.

Control panel and washing machine cabinet.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on either the control panel or operating parts. e

○ Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.

- If you ever spill any liquid detergent or conditioner from the detergent drawer onto the washing machine cabinet, then these should be cleaned up immediately as they could be corrosive.

Detergent drawer

Occasional detergent drawer should be cleaned.

Illustration of a hand washing a kitchen sink with a tool, showing fluid flow (no text or symbols)

o Pull the detergent drawer out as far as it will go and then remove the drawer by pulling firmly.

• Use warm water and a brush to thoroughly clean the three compartments of the detergent drawer.
• Clean the area that the detergent drawer slides into with a brush.
• Replace the detergent drawer by placing it back into the slot. Then push the drawer fully back into position.

The washing machine drum

The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.

- Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate stainless steel cleaning agent.

Door

• You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed, or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This sits inside the opening of the porthole door.
• Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water can result in water leaking from the door.

90 degree maintenance wash

The warm and damp environment of a washing machine can lead to a bacteria build up inside of the machine and in extreme cases you may even get a “sludge” like material building. To prevent this from happening, you should do the following:-

• Leave the door ajar for a few minutes after the wash cycle has completed.
  Once a month, set your appliance on a 90 degree wash.
• You should not put clothing inside the appliance for this maintenance wash.
• You should use a wash powder that contains a bleaching agent (i.e. not a wash powder that is only suitable for washing coloured garments).

Long periods of not in use

- If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses.

- Ensure the mains power is off and then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.

General troubleshooting

IMPORTANT: Your appliance has an unbalance control system. If this system detects that the washload is unevenly distributed inside the drum. Your washing machine will try to redistribute the load before spinning. If after several attempts it is unable to redistribute the washload, then the appliance will either spin at a slower speed or skip the spin cycle and drain.

neven load distribution can be caused by too large a wash load or to small a wash load. It can also occur if a single item if washed inside the appliance.

IF AN ENGINEER ATTENDS DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD AND FINDS THAT A FAULT HAS BEEN CAUSED BY AN ITEM IN THE ABOVE TABLE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED BY THE CUSTOMER, THEN YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF THE SERVICE CALL.

My garments are looking grey and there are limescale deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.

• There is not enough detergent being added.
• The incorrect detergent is being used.
• Stains are not being pre-treated.
• The correct wash program or wash temperature was not selected.

I have followed the advice given above, but my garments are still coming out with grey stains on them.

• The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease and were washed without enough detergent.
• The wash temperature selected was too low.
  Fabric conditioner has come into contact with the garments. If this happens try to wash out these stains as quickly as you can and try to avoid getting conditioner on the garments in the future.

he final rinse, I can still see foam.

- Modern detergents can result in there still being foam in the final rinse. This does not mean that the washing is not being rinsed properly.

There is white residue on my garments when I remove them from the appliance.

• Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents, and white residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments not being rinsed properly.
• You should shake out the garment or brush it off. In future possibly turn the garment inside out before it is washed. You may wish to move from a powder detergent and switch to a liquid detergent instead.

IMPORTANT: The transit bolts MUST be removed before your washing machine is used for the first time.

- Apply the insulation sheet or co-rrugated material to the base of the appliance as shown above.

- Peel back the sealing strips (1) and line the insulation sheet up with the base of the appliance (2). Secure the sheet in place using the screws as shown (3).

Positioning and levelling the appliance

- The washing machine requires an aperture of the size given in the diagram on the previous page.

- Place the washing machine on a solid and level floor surface.

- DO NOT PLACE THE WASHING MACHINE ON A CARPET.

- The feet are adjustable to ensure that the appliance is level. This is essential for quiet operation.

- Slacken off the lock nut on each of the washing machine feet using a spanner.

○ Adjust the feet to level off the washing machine.

Once levelled correctly, you should tighten the lock nut back up on each of the washing machine feet using a spanner.

IMPORTANT: When the washing machine is positioned in the location where it will be used. Make sure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor, by pressing down on each corner and checking that the appliance stands still.

- The front of the appliance has been drilled to accommodate the hinges to enable the door to be opened from the left or right hand side.

- The following instructions demonstrate how to fit a standard height décor door with dummy drawer.

- You will need these screws to complete the fitting.

- Screw the hinges onto the décor door (A) then fasten the dummy drawer front to the top edge of the door. Ensure that the gap between the door and drawer front matches the units on either side.

- Fasten the magnetic catch (B) using screw (C) to the décor door.

- Fasten the magnetic catch striker plate (D) to the front of the appliance, placing the rubber washer (E) under the plate and screw in place with screws (G).

- Snap mount the plastic cover cap (H) into the lower hinge position.

o Mount the door and hinges to the front of the appliance using screws (L).

○ IMPORTANT: It is recommended that, where possible, the décor door is hinged on the same side as the appliance door as this will give greater space to load and unload the washing.

Connecting to the mains water supply

- Connect and fully tighten the inlet hose to the threaded inlet valve that is located at the rear of the washing machine. You should connect the end with the right angle connector on it to the back of your appliance.

- Connect the other end of the inlet hose to your mains water supply. This machine only uses cold water therefore only one hose is needed to connect to the cold water supply. DO NOT CONNECT TO A HOT WATER SUPPLY.

- Tighten the inlet hose to your mains supply fully.

- Test for any leaks.

Water outlet

• Secure the drain hose, so that it cannot move whilst the washing machine is in use.
• Place the end of the drain hose on your drain pipe. Push it a short way down into your drain pipe.
  ○ IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply into the water pipe, as this may cause siphoning.
• NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH.
• For the washing machine to function properly, the end of the discharge hose must be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 85 cm from the ground.

Power supply

○ IMPORTANT: As your appliance is a built in product, the electrical socket must still be accessible once the appliance is installed.

Consult the rating plate, located on the inner rim of the porthole door of the appliance BEFORE making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on the rating plate.

- DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.

- The moulded plug that is supplied with the appliance must be placed into an earthed and insulated socket.

○ Broken or damaged power leads must only be replaced by a suitably qualified person. A power lead of a similar type must be used in replacement.

- Power lead type - H 0 V V - F 3G 1,5.

○ IMPORTANT: We do not recommend that this appliance is connected to an extension lead.

Before first use maintenance wash

- When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you perform a maintenance wash cycle.

- This will check that all aspects of the installation are correct; it will also remove any deposits that may have been left in the drum by the manufacturing process.

- Select the Cotton 90°C wash program.

- A small quantity of detergent should be used during this maintenance wash.

IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains supply and then contact Baumatic Customer Care on telephone number [phone].
