Frequently Asked Questions - C510WM11 Currys Essentials

How do I install my Currys Essentials C510WM11 washing machine?
First, remove all packaging and transit bolts. Place the machine on a level surface. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water supply with a 3/4 inch thread. Attach the drain hose to a standpipe or sink outlet. Plug into a grounded outlet. Level the feet using the adjustable feet. Run a first cycle without laundry to clean the drum.
What detergent should I use for this washing machine?
Use a low-sudsing detergent suitable for front-loading machines. For cotton cycles, powdered detergent is recommended. For synthetics and delicates, liquid detergent is preferable. Avoid using too much detergent as it can cause oversudsing.
How do I clean the drain filter?
The drain filter is located at the bottom front of the machine behind a kick panel. Open the panel, place a tray under the filter, and unscrew it clockwise. Remove any lint or debris. Clean the filter with water and reinstall securely. Perform this every 2-3 months to maintain performance.
What does error code E30 mean?
Error code E30 indicates a problem with the door lock. Ensure the door is fully closed and no clothing is caught. If the error persists, the door lock mechanism may need replacement. Contact Currys support for assistance.
Can I wash my duvet in this machine?
Check the care label of your duvet. The C510WM11 has a 5 kg capacity, so a single duvet (up to 200×200 cm) can be washed but may be cramped. Use the Delicate or Hand Wash program at 30°C with a low spin speed. Do not overload.
How do I reset the machine if it stops mid-cycle?
If the machine stops mid-cycle, first check if the water supply is on and the drain is not clogged. Turn the program dial to the Off position, wait 2 minutes, then turn back to the desired program. If the machine does not respond, unplug it for 10 minutes and then plug back in.
What is the maximum spin speed for delicate items?
For delicate items, we recommend selecting a spin speed of 400 rpm or 600 rpm to prevent fabric damage. Wool and hand wash programs will automatically set a low spin speed.
Why is my washing machine vibrating during spin?
Vibration can be caused by unevenly distributed laundry, missing transit bolts, or an unlevel machine. Ensure the load is balanced, the transit bolts are removed, and the feet are adjusted to level the machine. Also check that the floor is solid.
How often should I run a cleaning cycle?
Run a drum clean or self-clean cycle every 2 months. Use a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar. Set the machine to the highest temperature (90°C) and run an empty cycle. This prevents mold and detergent buildup.
Where can I find spare parts for my Currys Essentials C510WM11?
Spare parts such as door seals, inlet hoses, drain pumps, and control boards are available from Currys' official website or authorized repair centers. Provide the model number C510WM11 when ordering. For out-of-warranty repairs, consider third-party suppliers but ensure compatibility.

INSTALLATION

Moving and Installing

Removing the Anchor Bolts

Four anchor bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it's being moved.

They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the instructions detailed below.

Don't run the washing machine without removing the bolts, as this can cause excessive vibrations.

To remove the anchor bolts:

  1. Use a spanner to loosen the four bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
  2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
  3. Remove the 4 plastic bolt guides if not removed with the bolt.

Diagram showing a washing machine with labeled parts and three close-up insets illustrating mechanical components.

You'll need the anchor bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make sure you keep them in a safe place.

Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another

Make sure to fix the anchor bolts prior to moving the washing machine.

Before you move the washing machine

  • Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining water from the pump hose.
    • Depressurise the water supply hose and remove it.
  • Disconnect the mains cable.
  • Attach the anchor bolts.

~80cm ~90cm ~130cm ~40cm ~85cm ~135cm min. 60cm max. 100cm

How to connect from the right side

Levelling the Washing Machine

There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing machine is level.

  1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it clockwise with a spanner.
  2. Adjust all four feet in this way.
  3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
  4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them anti-clockwise (towards the washing machine body), again using a spanner.

Lock nut

Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still bolted to the washing machine - if they're unbolted, the washing machine will move around.

Water Supply Hose

Points to remember

• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
- Don't connect the hose to a combination tap.
- Don't twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
- Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.02 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the tap should be more than 5 litres per minute. If you're unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.

Connecting the Water Supply Hose

  1. Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten the plastic joint by hand.
  2. Open the tap slowly and check that there are no leaks around the joint.

INSTALLATION

Leak-proof System - Overflow Detection

This system is designed to prevent water leaks from the washing machine. If water collects in the washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the washing machine overflowing by stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.

Water Drain Hose

Points to remember:

  • Don't twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
  • Your washing machine should be no more than 100cm from the drain outlet.

Draining to a sink or wash-basin

  • Secure the drain hose in position, so it can't drop out of the basin.
  • Don't block the basin's drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through it is sufficient.
  • Don't let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow back into the washing machine.

  • If you need to change a setting, press Start / Pause button and then re-select the desired program.
  • Water is poured into the washing machine to perform an inspection at the time of shipment from the factory, so there may be drops of water or condensation in the washing machine. This is not an indication of a malfunction.

Preparation

Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing.

Organising Laundry

  • Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.
  • Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is.

This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.

• Do not exceed maximum load!
• Be careful not to trap any items of clothing.

Preparing Laundry

• Treat stains before washing.
- Some items should to be put into a cleaning net before going into the washing machine. i.e. bras with metal wires, tights and lace clothing to prevent damage. Check that pockets do not contain any objects which may damage your clothes and the washing machine.
- Tie up any loose strings on laundry, close zippers and reverse clothing with zips inside out.
- Remove any surplus hair, animal fur, sand, and other materials with a brush before washing.
• If clothes have raised fabric turn them inside out.
• Clothes that are not colour fast should be washed separately.
- Insert your clothes into the washing machine. Close the washing machine door. Ensure not to trap any items of clothing between the loading door and rubber seal.

Currys Essentials C510WM11 - Preparing Laundry - 1

Adding Detergent and Softener

  • Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser.
  • Apply softener before you start washing to prevent static.
  • Apply detergent and softener according to the washing amount, the soiling level, the water hardness in your area and the manufacturer's instructions of these products.

Main wash detergent

Softener

Pre-wash detergent

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts I and II, showing internal structure and assembly details.

Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevent blockage of the overflow. Maximum level is 40ml.

  • Do not use washing machine when the detergent drawer is removed. It may cause a water leak or it may not work normally.
  • If you forget to add detergent, you can drain the washing machine by running a spin only programme. Then you can add detergent and start the programme again. Detergent only reaches the drum when water flushes through the detergent drawer.
  • To prevent powered detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. Make sure the powder isn't lumpy when you add it into the drawer.
  • If the rinse cycle isn't removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.
  • Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.
  • Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.

Currys Essentials C510WM11 - Washing (Wool Programmes) - 1

natural_image Line drawings of four different clothing items: sweater, jacket, dress, and skirt (no text or symbols)

Which Detergent to Use

• For wool items, use a mild liquid detergent. Other detergents may damage your clothes.
- With Wool or Silk programmes, you may need to use the Extra Rinse cycle to remove excess detergent from your clothes. This depends on the amount of detergent you use, and the amount of foam that develops in the main wash cycle.
- To do this, once the programme has finished, select the "Wool" programme to rinse again. Then select "Rinse" using the Power & Programme Selection Dial and press the Start / Pause button.

Tips for Hanging Delicate Items to Dry

  • Hang white or light colour clothes, wool and nylon away from direct heat or sunlight.
    • After washing, smooth creases and folds out of wool and nylon clothes and return them to their normal shape before hanging in the shade.
  • Use a hanger for shirts, blouses and trousers. You can wrap a towel around the hanger to fit the shoulder width of your clothes, so they retain their shape as they dry.
  • Spread woollen items such as seaters out to dry.

If Clothing Shrinks in the Wash...

- You can spread the item out to its original size on an ironing board, and use dress pins to hold the size and shape. Then use an iron to steam the item and leave it to dry.

How to Use Laundry Starch

Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture.

Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent.

  • To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you add detergent. It will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final rinsing cycle.
  • If it's hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the softener compartment. Make sure you don't fill the compartment over the MAX level.

Currys Essentials C510WM11 - How to Use Laundry Starch - 1

After using starch, clean the detergent drawer, especially the softener cover. Then remove any excess starch in the drum, run a "Quick Wash" programme without detergent.

How to Use Salt

If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form in the drum. To reduce the hardness of the water, you will need to add a water softening agent after the detergent to the main wash compartment. If you use other treatments like fabric softener or a stain remover, add them to your wash in the following order:

  1. Detergent 2. Salt 3. Stain remover

It is recommended that adjustments should be made according to the water hardness level in your area.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine

Cleaning the Drum

If you keep using cold water in your washing machine, this may cause a build-up of bacteria inside the drum, which can give off an odour. You can avoid this by running the "drum clean" programme once a month. When you use a scale remover, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Don't put laundry in the washing machine during the drum cleaning.

  1. Press the ON/OFF button to provide power.
  2. Turn the Programme Selection Dial to drum cleaning.
  3. The washing machine will sound when the programme is complete.

Cleaning the Exterior of your Washing Machine

  • Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent such as kitchen detergent.
  • Don't splash water over the washing machine.
  • Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.

Cleaning the Detergent Drawer

  1. Remove the detergent drawer by pulling and pressing the softener cover at the same time.
  2. Wash out old detergent from the drawer with water. (Use a cloth to clean the washing machine.) Residue detergent soon builds up if you don't clean the drawer regularly, and can develop mould.

Press Pull out at the same time

Preventing a Frozen Water Supply Hose

If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it at room temperature for 24 hours after you've set it up before using it. This ensures there's no ice blocking the water supply hose. If your water supply hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the drum. Then run a "Drain" only programme.

about 50°C

  4. Use a small brush, e.g. a toothbrush to clean the filter.

  5. Re-connect the water supply hose to the tap and turn the tap back on, checking for leaks.

Safety Warnings

For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety precautions listed below.

WARNING!

- If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you go on holiday, turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly important if there is no drainage around the washing machine.

If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.

  • Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
  • Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the washing machine. They may cause a fire or damage.
  • Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a fire.
    • This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled washing machine washable.
  • Anchor bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should remove these using a spanner or similar tool before you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the washing machine is spinning.
  • Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine works with cold water.
