Frequently Asked Questions - WDT 71040 WH TEKA

How do I install the washing machine?
Remove all packaging and transit bolts. Place the machine on a level surface and adjust the feet. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap, and the drain hose to a standpipe or sink. Plug into an earthed socket. Run a 90°C empty cycle to clean the drum.
What should I do if the machine doesn't start?
Check that the door is fully closed, the water supply is turned on, and the machine is plugged in. Ensure the programme selector is correctly set and the Start/Pause button has been pressed. If the problem persists, check the fuse or circuit breaker.
How can I clean the detergent drawer?
Remove the drawer by pressing the release lever. Wash it under warm running water, using a brush to remove residue. Clean the recess with a cloth. Reinsert the drawer fully.
What does 'AquaStop' mean?
AquaStop is a safety system that prevents water leaks. It uses a special inlet hose with a valve that shuts off water if a leak is detected. If the system activates, disconnect the machine and call service.
Can I use liquid detergent with this machine?
Yes, you can use liquid detergent. Pour it into the liquid detergent compartment (usually with a slider or insert). For automatic dispensing, follow the instructions for your model.
How often should I run the drum clean cycle?
Run the Drum Clean programme every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you notice odours or residue. Use a washing machine cleaner or follow the manual instructions.
What is the maximum load for different programmes?
For Cotton: 7 kg. Synthetics: 3.5 kg. Delicates: 2 kg. Quick 15': 2 kg. Always follow the load recommendations to avoid overloading.

6.2 Putting Laundry in the Machine

Illustration of two washing machines with a pipe connecting them (no text or symbols).

  • Open the door of your machine.
  • Spread your laundry evenly in the machine.

NOTE: Take care not to exceed the maximum load of the drum as this will give poor wash results and cause creasing. Refer to the washing programme tables for information on load capacities.

The following table shows approximate

weights of typical laundry items:

LAUNDRY TYPE WEIGHT (gr)
Towel 200
Linen 500
Bathrobe 1200
Quilt cover 700
Pillow slip 200
Underwear 100
Tablecloth 250
  • Load each item of laundry separately.
  • Check that no items of laundry are trapped between the rubber seal and the door. Gently push the door until it clicks shut.

click

Make sure the door is fully closed, otherwise the programme will not start.

6.3 Adding Detergent to the Machine

The amount of detergent you will need to put in your machine will depend on the following criteria:

  • If your clothes are only slightly soiled, do not pre-wash. Put a small amount of detergent (as specified by the manufacturer) into compartment II of the detergent drawer.
  • If your clothes are excessively soiled, select a programme with pre-wash and put 1/4 of the detergent to be used into compartment I of the detergent drawer and the rest in compartment II.
  • Use detergents produced for automatic washing machines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the amount of detergent to use. In areas of hard water, more detergent will be required. The amount of the detergent required will increase with higher washing loads.
  • Put softener in the middle compartment of the detergent drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level.
  • Thick softeners may cause clogging of the drawer and should be diluted.
  • It is possible to use fluid detergents in all programmes without a pre-wash. To do this, slide the fluid detergent level plate (*) into the guides in compartment II of the detergent drawer. Use the lines on the plate as a guide to fill the drawer to the required level.

(*) Specifications may vary depending on the machine purchased.

6.4 Operating Your Machine

Illustration showing two steps of installation: one with a plug and cable, the other with a hand holding a screwdriver (no text or symbols present).

  1. Plug your machine in to the mains supply.
  2. Turn on the water supply.
  3. Open the machine door. • Evenly spread your laundry in the machine. • Gently push the door until it clicks shut.

6.5 Selecting a Programme

Use the programme tables to select the most appropriate programme for your laundry.

6.6 Half-Load Detection System

Your machine features a half-load detection system.
