Frequently Asked Questions - WA 5710 BOMANN

How do I remove the transit bolts before first use?

Use a spanner to loosen and remove the four transport bolts from the back of the machine. Plug the holes with the supplied transit bolt caps. Never operate with the bolts still in place, as this can cause serious damage.

What should I do if the machine does not start?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the water tap is open. Ensure the door is fully closed and locked. Press the Power button, select a program, and press Start/Pause. If the problem persists, refer to the troubleshooting guide.

How do I clean the drain pump filter?

Disconnect the machine from the power supply. Open the lower cover, place a container under the pump, and turn the filter fastener to the left. Remove the filter, clean it from foreign objects, and reattach it securely. Clean every 2 months or when the 'Rinse' and 'Spin' LEDs flicker.

Why is the door not opening after a wash cycle?

The door lock remains engaged for about 2 minutes after the cycle ends for safety. If the drum temperature is above 53°C or water level is high, the door stays locked. Wait for it to cool down or drain the water. Do not force the door open.

What does it mean when the 'Spin' LED flickers?

A flickering 'Spin' LED indicates the machine fills overtime. Possible causes: the water tap is closed, the drain hose is too low, or the water inlet valve is damaged. Check the tap and hose position; if the issue continues, contact service.

How do I run the first wash cycle?

Connect the machine, open the water tap, add a little detergent to the drawer, and select the Intensive program at 60°C. Press Start/Pause with no laundry inside. This removes any residual water from manufacturing.

What is the maximum load for the Quick Wash program?

The Quick Wash program is designed for small loads up to 1.5 kg. Overloading may reduce cleaning performance and cause improper rinsing.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Press down on the release catch inside the drawer and pull it out completely. Wash all parts with warm water and a brush. Clean the drawer housing with a bottle brush. Reinsert the drawer after drying.

Can I wash waterproof clothing in this machine?

No. Waterproof items such as raincoats, car sun protection cloth, and sleeping bags should not be washed. They can cause water bursting out, abnormal vibration, or damage to the machine.

What should I do if the machine vibrates excessively during spin?

Ensure the machine is level by adjusting the adjustable feet. Check that the transit bolts are removed. Also, redistribute the laundry evenly in the drum. Unbalanced loads trigger a balance control system that may reduce spin speed.

INSTALLATION

Remove the transport bolts

Before using this washing machine, the transport bolts must be removed from the backside of the machine. Loosen all bolts with spanner and then remove them and keep the transport bolts properly for future use/transport. Plug the holes with the transit bolts caps supplied.

WARNING: Should the bolts aren't removed; there could be serious damages during operation.

NOTE: Keep the transit bolts for future transportation. Whenever the machine is transported, the transit bolts must be refitted.

Installation – place requirements -

- The device must be installed in a clean place, where dirty does not build up.

- A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

- The machine must be level and securely positioned.

- Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.

- Do not place near heaters, next to a stove or any other heat sources.

- Avoid installation at locations with high humidity (e.g. outdoors), as metal parts would be susceptible to corrosion under such circumstances.

- Do not install in rooms where the temperature could drop below freezing. Do not expose the device any weather.

- Do not place the device near volatile or combustible materials (e.g. gas, fuel, alcohol, paint, etc.).

- Only place on a steady and safe surface in order to reduce vibration and noise to a minimum.

- If the ground is evidently uneven (the maximum allowed tilt angle is 2^ ), it must be balanced; otherwise the unit is wrong, vibrates or moves.

Three identical diagrams showing a container with a cross mark, placed on a surface with no text or symbols.

- If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet.

- Good ventilation around the unit is required so the heat can be derived correctly. The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 10 cm.

- The mains plug must be freely accessible.

Feet Adjustment (level adjustment)

Take care to a firm and horizontal position of the washing machine. If the machine moves, adjusts the feet.

Loosen the locknuts with a spanner.

Adjust the feet:

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.

To do these when the machine is not level:

• Using the spanner, turn it locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.
• Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.
  Hold adjusts feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

NOTE:

• The locknuts must be tightened after adjustment. Any looseness can cause vibration and noise.
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Water Connection

Install the Water Drain Hose

There are two ways to place the end of drain hose:

• 1. Hang into a sink or trough.
• 1. Connect it to the branch drain pipe of the trough.

• If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.

If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose, but it must be no longer than 4 meters; otherwise the washing effect could be reduced.

1. It can drain the water up and down, the drain hose shall be installed at a height of min. 60 cm and max. 90 cm about the ground and its end shall not be immersed in water. Please use the supplied hose holder for flexible hoses to get a proper angle and secure it well to avoid a change in position.

⚠ WARNING: Do not pinch the drain hose and do not place heavy objects on it: an uncontrolled water flow can cause the machine to stop working.

Install the Water Inlet Hose (Cold Water)

Use the new included inlet hose to connect the machine at the water supply (cold water). Old hose-sets should not be reused. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulation requirements.

Min. inlet water pressure 0.02	MPa
Max. inlet water pressure 0.8	MPa

• Connect the water supply hose to the tap with a 3/4"thread and tighten it firmly to the right.
• Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the inlet valve on the back of the device and tighten it firmly to the right too.

NOTE: If a leak develops remove the inlet hose and reconnect. Connect to a standard water tap.

STARTUP / OPERATION

Prior to First Use

• Make sure the power voltage at your place is same to the rating label at the device.
• Remove the accessories and any material from the drum.
• Clean the drum (see 'Cleaning and Care')
• Before using your washing machine for the first time let it run one washing cycle without laundry:
• Connect the power and turn on the tap.
• Fill a little detergent into the drawer and close it.
• Press the 'Power' (4) button, and then turn the knob to programme position 'Intensive'.
• Press the 'Start/Pause ▷' button.

It can remove the water which is left in the tube because of manufacturer's checking out.

Preparation of Clothes

• Check the pockets of the clothes to be washed, empty the rigid items such as decorations and coins, otherwise washing machine may be damaged or have abnormal troubles.
• Sort your laundry before placing it in the washing machine.
• Consider the symbols in the washing instructions on care label. Clothes are differentiated in cotton, blended fabric, synthetics, silk, wool and synthetic fibers.
• Separate in white and colored laundry. Wash all new clothing separately.
• Wash clothes of similar size together for better economy.
• Wash delicate clothes separately. New wool fabrics, curtains and silk must be treated like delicates. Observe the washing instructions in all clothes.
• Remove hooks from curtains.
• Decorations on clothes can damage your washing machine. Turn buttons and embroidery inside out.
• Close zippers, buttons and hooks. Tie bands and ribbons together.
• We recommend placing for instance bras inside a pillowcase to prevent damage.
• Delicate textiles such as laced curtains, straightjackets, small articles (tight socks, handkerchiefs, ties etc.) shall be put into string bag for washing.
• Washing large and heavy parts such as bath towels, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with the spinning cycle.
• The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles can be stained with dust and thrum etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed separately because they can easily get stained with the thrums of other colors when being washed together.
• Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the clothes.

Please pay attention with regard to detergents

• Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing machines according to type of fabric (cotton, synthetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise foaming can cause overflowing.
• Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing, preferably does not use bleach.
• Detergents often leave residue in the clothes, which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
• Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely if there is too much detergent or water temperature is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes and washing machines to pollute the clothes.

Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty degrees, local water hardness as well as the recommendations from the detergent manufacturers. Please consult the water company if you are not clear of water hardness.

ATTENTION: Keep detergents and additives in safe and dry places out of touch by kids.

Using the detergent drawer

1. Open the drawer and add adequate detergent into main wash compartment marked "☐ or "II".
2. Add the fabric softener into compartment marked “/” or “Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
3. Add the detergent into the pre-wash compartment marked "⊥" or "I" according to the programme you select.
4. Close the detergent drawer.

NOTE:

• The dispenser is suitable for the use of washing powder in pre- and main-wash cycle!
• To avoid overflowing dissolve your washing powder in a bit of water in case it is clotted.

The right amount to dispenser will depend on the following:

• The quantity of laundry
• The soiling level of the laundry

• Lightly soiled. No visible dirt or stains. Possible slightly body odour.
• Normally soiled. Visibly dirty and/or just a few slightly stains.
• Heavily soiled. Visibly dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.
  • The water hardness level.

NOTE: It is recommended to use low foaming powder.

Clothing, which are not suitable for the washing machines:

• Ties, waistcoats, outerwear, etc. can shrink.
• Colored clothes can discolor.
• Pleated clothes, embossed or synthetic fibers can also shrink. Cotton and wool, silk and fur can shrink and crease;
• Ornamented evening attire and traditional clothing easily discolors.
• Do not wash clothes without washing instructions.
• Washing machine shall not wash water-proof materials (ski suits, outside napkin pads, curtains): As for the fiber products that water cannot get soaked easily into such as water-proof cushions, and clothes, it is better not to wash. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal vibration to cause danger while rinsing and draining so that the clothes also may be damaged.

ATTENTION: Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, alcohol or solvents.

Fill in the Laundry

• Unravel the clothes before putting them into the machine.
• Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
• Each loading should correspond to the rated capacity of the machine. Do not overload the machine.
• Different strengths / sizes / types of laundry can affect the actual loading capacity of the machine. It is advisable to load the machine with only the amount of clothes that normal circulation is possible during washing.
• The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
• Make sure that no laundries are caught between the door and the seal.
