Frequently Asked Questions - BW325SL BAUMATIC

How do I install the Baumatic BW325SL washing machine?

Remove the three transit bolts at the back using a screwdriver, then level the appliance by adjusting the four feet. Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water supply and the drain hose to a standpipe. Ensure the electrical socket is earthed and accessible. Perform a 90°C maintenance wash before first use.

What is the maximum load capacity for washing and drying?

The maximum wash load is 6 kg and the maximum drying load is 4 kg. For automatic wash and dry programs, the load must not exceed 4 kg for normal and 1.5 kg for delicate cycles.

How do I select a wash program?

Turn the Wash Program Selection Knob to the desired program. The LCD will show the program number and estimated time. You can then press the Start/Stop button to begin. Option buttons (Easy Iron, Extra Rinse, Intensive) can be pressed before starting.

What do the error codes mean?

Common error codes: F01 (no water intake – check tap and filter), F02 (drain or spin issue – clean drain pump filter), F04 (machine not starting – ensure door is closed), C03 (unbalanced load – redistribute clothes). To clear a code, hold the Start/Stop button for 5 seconds.

How do I clean the drain pump filter?

Disconnect the power and water. Remove the kickplate, use a coin to turn the filter cap counterclockwise until water drains. Remove the filter, rinse it under a tap, and remove any debris. Reinsert and tighten fully. Clean the filter approximately every 20 washes.

Can I pause or cancel a wash cycle?

To pause, press the Start/Stop button. To cancel, turn the program selection knob to another position; the door will lock for 2 minutes. Before opening, always select a Drain program to remove any water remaining in the drum.

How do I use the drying function?

Select a drying program using the program knob (Normal Dry or Delicate Dry). Then press the Drying Time button repeatedly to set the desired time in minutes. Press Start/Stop to begin. For automatic wash and dry, select the wash program, then set the drying time before starting.

Why is the machine vibrating excessively during the spin cycle?

Ensure the transit bolts have been removed. Check that the machine is level by adjusting the feet. Also verify that the load is balanced – avoid washing a single heavy item or overloading.

How do I maintain the washer dryer?

After each use, leave the door ajar and pull out the detergent drawer slightly to dry. Clean the detergent drawer regularly with warm water. Once a month, run a 90°C maintenance wash with a bleaching detergent (no clothes) to prevent bacteria buildup. Clean the drain pump filter every 20 washes.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use detergents suitable for automatic washing machines. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s dosage instructions based on soil level, load size, and water hardness. For liquid detergents, use a dosing device. Avoid using dry cleaning solvents or flammable materials.

Description of the appliance

Control panel

Wash program selection knob

This control knob allows you to select the wash program of your choice.

Start/ Stop button

Once a wash program has been selected, this button should be pressed to start the wash cycle.

Program option button

This button needs to be pressed after a wash program has been selected, but before the wash program has been started. If you select a different wash cycle after pressing a program option, it will need to be reselected.

Intensive wash: This function should be selected if you are washing heavily soiled, stained clothes. It achieves a better level of wash performance by extending the wash program that you have selected.

Easy iron: This function helps to prevent garments from creasing by carrying out a program where the rotation of the drum will fluff out the garments, after the spin cycle has completed. This should make the garments easier to iron.

Extra rinse: This function increases the level of the final rinse for the selected wash program. This should be selected if large loads are being washed or the garments belong to somebody who has sensitive skin. This option will increase the amount of water the appliance uses.

Detergent drawer

Pre wash section

This compartment should have detergent placed in, if you are going to select a wash program that has a pre wash as part of it.

Main wash section

This compartment should have detergent placed in it (you should also put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash program.

Conditioner section

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.

- 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.

Select a programme taking into account the care labels indications.

• The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
• If the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then please refer to the washing machine program chart. This gives more detailed descriptions of the types of fabric that are suitable to be washed using a particular wash program.

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.

- You should also clean the siphon that sits inside of the conditioner section of the detergent drawer. Taking care to make sure that the siphon is inserted back in the drawer correctly. - Replace the detergent drawer by placing it back into the slot. Then push the drawer fully back into position.

The washer dryer drum

The drum of your washer dryer 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.

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 boil 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).

Error code failure system

If your appliance senses that it is not operating correctly, then an error code may appear in the LCD display.

The following error codes can possibly be remedied by the customer and the steps outlined below should be followed.

BEFORE COMPLETING ANY MAINTAINEANCE ON THE APPLIANCE, IT SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS POWER SUPPLY.

No display

• Power failure.
• Check that the power plug is in the mains socket correctly.
• Check the mains fuse.

F01- No water coming into the machine

• Check the water pressure of your mains water supply.
• Clean the mesh filter that sits in the inlet hose.
  ○ Make sure the water tap that the machine is connected to is switched on fully.

F02- The machine will not drain or spin

• Clean the drain pump filter.
• Check the drain hose is not blocked or kinked.

F04- The machine does not start

- Check that the door has been shut properly before commencing a wash cycle.

C03- The machine has sensed an out of balance load

• This may be due to uneven distribution of clothes in the drum, which may cause an excessive level of vibration.
• See the general troubleshooting section.

F05 - F10- Contact Baumatic Customer Care

Once the machine has been plugged back into your mains power supply, to clear the fault code from the LCD display, you should switch on the machine and hold down the Start/Stop button for approximately 5 seconds.

Illustration of a classic office telephone with keypad and keypad (no text or symbols)

If a fault code reappears after following the above advice and clearing the fault code. You should turn the wash program selection knob to the off position. Disconnect the appliance from your mains supply. Then arrange for an engineer to attend the appliance. You should contact the Customer Care Department on [phone].

General troubleshooting

Water under the washer dryer

• Tighten the drain pump filter.
• Check the drain and inlet hose and make sure they are fully tightened.

Washer dryer vibrates during the spin cycle

• Check that the transport locking devices have been removed (see installation instructions).
  ○ Make sure that the washer dryer is installed on a flat and level floor.
• Ensure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor, by pressing down on each corner and making sure that the appliance is stable.
• If it is unstable then follow the “Positioning and levelling the appliance” section.

Poor spin results

- Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning the drain pump filter” section).

Water in the detergent dispenser

Although there will be some water residue left in the detergent drawer after a wash cycle has completed. If the drawer is full of water then you may need to clean the detergent drawer.

IMPORTANT: Your appliance has an unbalance control system. If this system detects that the washload is unevenly distributed inside the drum. Your washer dryer 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.

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

• There is not enough detergent being added.
• The incorrect detergent is being used.
  o 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 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.

Cleaning the drain pump filter

IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply.

You should clean out the filter approximately every twenty washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently.
