Frequently Asked Questions - GWN39442STC GRUNDIG

How do I clean the drum of my Grundig GWN39442STC washing machine?

Run a drum clean cycle once a month with an empty machine. You can also add a descaler or a cup of white vinegar to the detergent drawer. After the cycle, wipe the door seal and leave the door open to dry.

What should I do if the washing machine does not drain?

Check the drain filter (located at the bottom front) for blockages. Also inspect the drain hose for kinks or clogs. If the problem persists, there might be a pump issue; consult the manual for error codes.

Why is my machine making a loud noise during spin?

Loud noises can be due to unbalanced loads. Try redistributing clothes evenly. Also check if the transport bolts are removed. If noise continues, the drum bearings may need inspection.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (usually marked with a padlock icon) for 3 seconds until the symbol appears on the display. To deactivate, repeat the same step.

What does error code E01 mean?

Error code E01 indicates a door lock problem. Ensure the door is properly closed. If it persists, the door lock mechanism may be faulty and require replacement.

Can I use liquid detergent in this machine?

Yes, but use the liquid detergent compartment (usually with a flap or insert) in the detergent drawer. Do not pour liquid directly onto clothes, as it may cause stains.

How do I delay the start of a wash cycle?

Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to select the desired delay time (e.g., 3, 6, 9 hours). Then press Start. The machine will begin the cycle after the set delay.

What is the maximum spin speed?

The maximum spin speed for this model is 1400 rpm. You can adjust it to lower speeds using the spin speed selector button.

How often should I clean the detergent drawer?

Clean the detergent drawer every 2-3 months. Remove it by pressing the release lever, rinse under running water, and use a small brush to remove residue. Wipe dry before reinserting.

- Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

Connecting to the drain

- The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

WARNING: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

- To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

- The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

- If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

Adjusting the feet

WARNING: In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
  • Take out all items in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.

Using detergent and softener

When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach or limescale remover, read the manufacturer's instructions on the package carefully and follow the suggested dosage values. Use measuring cup if available.

Detergent Drawer

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

• (1) for prewash
• (2) for main wash
• (3) for softener
• (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open while the washing programme is running!

• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. „1“).

• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. „1“).

• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. „2“).

Choosing the detergent type

Detergent type to be used depends on the washing programme, fabric type and color.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delicate clothes and at suggested programmes.

- When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

- Wash woolens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woolens

- Please review the program descriptions part for suggested program for different textiles.

- All recommendations about detergents are valid for selectable temperature range of programmes.

WARNING: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

WARNING: Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use less detergent for smaller loads, lightly soiled clothes or when using short duration programmes especially in soft water areas.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Using liquid detergents If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• Place the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. „2“.
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product is equipped with a liquid detergent part:

• When you want to use liquid detergent, pull the apparatus towards yourself. The part that falls down will serve as a barrier for the liquid detergent.
• If required, clean the apparatus with water when it is in place or by removing it.
• If you will use powder detergent, the apparatus must be secured at top position.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. „2“) or directly into the drum before washing.

Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.

Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using bleaches

- Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.

• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches, select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.

- Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. „2“ in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water.

Using limescale remover

- When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.

Tips for efficient washing

Displayed Program Time

You can see the programme duration on the display of your machine while selecting a programme. Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into your machine, foaming, unbalanced load conditions, fluctuations in power supply, water pressure and program settings, the programme duration is automatically adjusted while the programme is running.

SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of Cottons and Cotton Eco programmes, display shows the duration of half load, which is the most common use case. After programme starts, in 20-25 minutes actual load is detected by the machine. And if the detected load is higher than half load; washing program will be adjusted accordingly and program duration increased automatically. You may follow this change on the display.
