Frequently Asked Questions - C510WM12 Currys Essentials

Why must I remove the transit bolts before using the washing machine?

The transit bolts secure the drum during transport. If not removed, the washing machine will vibrate excessively and may be damaged. Use a spanner to remove the three bolts at the rear and insert the cover caps.

What should I do if the door does not open after a wash cycle?

The door lock remains engaged for approximately 1 minute after the programme ends. Wait one minute and try again. If it still does not open, check if water remains inside; select a spin programme to drain, then turn off and wait.

How do I interpret error codes like Err1, Err2, etc.?

Err1: Door not closed – shut it properly.
Err2: Drainage issue – clean the filter and check the drain hose.
Err3: Internal fault – contact maintenance.
Err4: Overload – reduce load and restart.
Err5: Drain hose submerged – ensure the hose end is not in water.
Err7/Err8: Electronic fault – contact maintenance.

Why is there excessive foam during the wash?

Excess foam may occur if too much detergent is used, especially with soft water. Use reduced-foam detergent and follow the dosage instructions. Some fabrics like bathrobes hold detergent, causing more foam – do not overload the drum.

The washing machine vibrates or moves during spin. What can I do?

First, ensure the transit bolts are removed. Then check that the machine is level and on a stable surface. Adjust the levelling feet using a spanner and a spirit level. Also make sure the load is balanced; if laundry clumps to one side, the machine will try to redistribute it.

How do I clean the drain filter?

Unplug the machine and open the service flap. Carefully turn the filter counterclockwise to release water (collect it in a container). Remove the filter, clean off lint and debris, then replace it by turning clockwise. Do this monthly.

What does the 'power-off memory' function do?

If power is interrupted or you need to cut it off during a cycle, the washing machine saves the current settings. When power resumes, the programme will continue from where it stopped, not from the beginning.

Can I use extension cords or adapters with the washing machine?

No, do not use extension cords or adapters. They can overheat and cause a fire. The washing machine must be plugged directly into a dedicated household socket rated for 220-240 V~.

Why does water remain in the door seal after washing?

Some foam or water may remain in the door seal after a cycle. This is normal and does not affect performance. Wipe the seal and window with a cloth after each wash to prevent lint buildup and possible leaks.

What should I do if the water drain hose is too short?

Do not extend the drain hose yourself. If an extension is needed, consult a qualified technician. The hose end should be between 80 cm and 100 cm above the floor to prevent self-siphoning. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or submerged.

INSTALLATION

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 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Ensure the water flow amount and speed from the tap is sufficient. 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. Connect the nut on the inlet hose to the connector on the water valve.
2. Apply inlet hose to a water tap with cold, fresh water.
3. Open the tap slowly and check that there are no leaks around the joint.

3/4" min. 10 mm

3/4" min. 10 mm Plastic joint

• The joint is subject to water pressure.
- Use the hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets should not be reused.

INSTALLATION

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.
• Use the drain hose bracket to keep the end of the drain hose retained and prevent the outflow of water. Don't extend the length of the drain hose; if an extended hose is required, please consult a serviceman.

The drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be securely fixed and leak-free. If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the pipe is at a height of less than 80cm, the washing machine will continuously drain while being filled (self-siphoning).

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.
- When first using the washing machine, let it run unloaded for one program to prevent the laundry from being tainted by oil or dirty water from the washing machine. Before washing you should run the machine without laundry, but with detergent, with 60°C programme.

Adding Detergent and Softener

- The washing efficiency and the performance is determined by the quality of detergent used. Special non-foaming detergent produces good washing results. Use specific detergents for synthetic and woollen goods. Do not use dry cleaning agents such as trichloroethylene and similar products.

Do not add more detergent than needed. Please follow the dosage recommendation on the detergent package.

Main wash detergent Softener Pre-wash detergent

• Slide out the detergent drawer and put the required detergent and softening agent into the corresponding compartments. Push back the drawer gently. (Refer to the instructions on the drawer)
• 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.

• For pre-washing program, detergent should be added to both drawer and For other programs, do not add detergent to drawer.
• Use liquid detergent according to the instructions on its package. Do not use liquid detergent if the pre-wash mode.
• Do not overuse softener; otherwise, it will damage the artificial fibres.

• Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevent blockage of the overflow. Maximum level is 70ml.

• 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.

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 sweaters 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.

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.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine

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 corrosive solvents or 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

Unusual odour • Rubber parts may give off a smell when you first start using the washing machine, but this goes away over time.• You should wash the drum once a month.
You can't see any water This is normal: The water level is below the window.
There's no water going into the washing machine	• The water tap might be turned off.• The water hose or water-supply hose may be frozen.• Your water supply may be disrupted.• The water-supply valve filter may be clogged.
There's only a small amount of water	• If you have paused the programme and you restart, the washing machine may drain some water.• Don't pour water in through the door.
Water adds up during washing	This is normal: water is supplied automatically as the level lowers, and with heavy loads the water may fill up repeatedly.
Water drains away during washing	This is normal: water often drains and refills to wash off excess foam. (This is called foam detection.)
There's no water going into the washing machine during rinse operation	Before rinsing, the washing machine spins to drain water remaining from the wash. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins before the spinning finishes	• If your laundry has collected to one side of the drum, rinsing will start automatically to correct the imbalance.• If there's excess foam after washing, water may drain and refill to wash it off. (This is called foam detection.)
During the spin-dry, the drum stops and rotates several times	This is normal. The washing machine has detected an unbalanced load and is trying to correct it.
Foam and water remain in the door or door seal	Although foam and water may remain, it does not have any influence on the performance of a rinse.
Spin starting is repeated This is normal. Although spin starting may be repeated, it is a function made to spin quietly.
Wash time too long During washing, if the laundry is unbalanced, the machine will try to correct by slowly rotating the drum. This may take several attempts. This is normal.There's not much foam • This can happen if you've put powder detergent directly into the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.The amount of foam can vary, depending on the temperature, level and softness of your water.You may not be using enough detergent.You may be using a reduced-foam type of detergent.Heavily soiled laundry can reduce the amount of foam.Larger loads of laundry can also reduce the amount of foam.
There's a lot of foam • The amount of foam can vary depending on the temperature, level and softness of your water.You may have used too much detergent.The type of detergent you use could cause excess foam.Some laundry types (Bathrobe, Bath towel), hold the detergent and becomes agitated during washing cycle. This is normal. Do not over fill the drum.
Fabric softener overflows • You may have exceeded the MAX level in the softener drawer.You may have spilt the liquid by closing the softener drawer too sharply.
There's a residue of powder detergent at the end of the wash	This can happen if you've put powder detergent directly into the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.
There's an unusual noise or vibration	Check there's nothing metal in the drum.Make sure the transit bolts used in transportation have been removed.Check the washing machine is on a flat, stable surface.Machine load is over 5 kg.
There's a noise when the water drains away	This is normal, it's the pump starting and stopping.
The electricity supply cuts out while the washing machine's on	Power-off memory function: In case of abrupt power failure or the need to cut off the power during a program cycle, the present settings will be saved and the preset operation will resume when the power is on again.

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.

General Use

• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• 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.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the hose is properly connected. If it's not, there may be a water leak.
