Frequently Asked Questions - WA57014-020A Exquisit

How do I open the door after a wash cycle?

Wait 2-3 minutes after the programme ends for the door lock to release. If still stuck, check if laundry is caught between door and seal. Never force the door open.

Why does my washing machine vibrate heavily during spin?

Common causes: transport bolts not removed, uneven floor, or overloading. Ensure the machine is level and feet are locked. Also check that the drain hose is not higher than 1 m.

What does error code IE mean?

IE stands for water inlet error. Check if the water tap is open, the inlet hose is not kinked or frozen, and the inlet strainer is clean.

How do I clean the lint filter?

Unplug the machine, open the flap at bottom right, pull out the drain hose to drain water, unscrew the filter counterclockwise, remove debris, then reinsert and turn clockwise until tight. Clean every 10 washes.

Can I wash a duvet in this machine?

Yes, use the Duvet programme. Max capacity 5 kg. Do not overfill to avoid strong vibrations.

How do I activate the child lock?

After starting a programme, press the Start Time Delay button for at least 3 seconds. All buttons except On/Off become locked. Repeat to deactivate.

What detergent should I use?

Use a low-suds detergent suitable for automatic washers. Dosage depends on water hardness, load size, and soil level. Avoid chlorine- or sulfur-based detergents.

Why is water not draining?

Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the lint filter. Also ensure the drain hose end is not immersed in water. If error OE appears, refer to manual.

Can I pause a running programme?

Press the Start/Pause button. The machine will pause. Press again to resume. Note: door cannot be opened immediately; wait for safety unlock.

What is the maximum spin speed for delicate fabrics?

For wool and delicate items, use the Wool programme with max spin speed 800 rpm. You can also manually reduce spin speed on other programmes.

If the Washing machine is connected to a built-in pump-out system, check that the latter is equipped with a vent hole to avoid simultaneous water inflow and pump-out (siphon effect).

12.1 Electrical connection

Have all electrical connections made by a specialist and in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and local safety regulations.

• For information on voltage, power consumption and fuse protection, see technical data.
• Connection may only be made via a properly installed and earthed protective contact socket.
• Earthing is required by law.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, pets or property resulting from failure to comply with the above instructions.
• Do not use multiple socket strips or power extension cables.
• Access to the mains plug must be guaranteed at all times after installation or it must be possible to achieve mains disconnection via a two-pole switch.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has been damaged during transport. In this case, notify the customer service.
• Have the mains cable replaced only by the customer service.
• Use the appliance only in the household and for the specified purpose.
• Switch on the unit by inserting the mains plug into the socket.

12.2 First wash

To remove the factory dirt and grease residues from the drum, start a wash cycle with a little detergent, without textiles. Prepare laundry

• Close zips, press studs and hooks so that they do not get caught in other textiles.
• Remove needles, buckles and other hard objects so that they do not scratch the interior of the washing machine.
• Empty your pockets. Roll down cuffs and turn synthetic fabrics inside out to avoid linting.
• Tie down ribbons and sashes so they don't get tangled.
  • Pre-treat stains.
• Separate heavily soiled textiles from lightly soiled ones.
• Separate dark and light colours as well as colour-fast and non-colour-fast textiles.

12.3 Load washing drum

• Place laundry loosely in the washing machine so that the textiles are cleaned optimally and remain crease-free.
• Load the appliance correctly and select the appropriate setting for the amount of laundry.
  • Overloading and a setting for the laundry quantity that is too low can:
  • reduce the washing result, promote creasing,
  • produce an excessive amount of lint.
• Mix large and small textiles in each load. Distribute everything evenly to maintain balance in the appliance. An uneven load may cause the appliance to vibrate when spinning.
• For a load with only a few small textiles, a shorter washing time is sufficient.
• Never put laundry in the machine that has been sprayed with petrol. Filler compartments for detergent

Use the three compartments as follows:

1. Detergent for main wash cycle
2. Detergent for prewash
3. Fabric softener

Putting into operation

It is important to use the right amount of detergent depending on the type of laundry. This depends on the following factors:

Water Hardness

Depending on the PH value in your region, you may need more or less detergent. Ask at the waterworks.

Pollution level

More detergent is needed for heavily soiled laundry.

Laundry quantity

The smaller the amount of washing, the smaller the amount of detergent should be.

• Do not use detergents that contain chlorine and sulphur.
• Follow the dosage recommendation on the detergent pack.
• Overdosing leads to extreme foaming and causes the colours of your laundry to fade over time.
• Add liquid softener to the softener compartment.
• Do not exceed the maximum level line. Overfilling can cause stains to appear on the garments.
• Do not open the detergent compartment while water is running in.

13.5 Tips for staintreatment

• Stained, heavily soiled or oily textiles may need to be pre-treated or soaked.
• Soaking helps remove protein-based stains such as blood, milk or grass.
• Pre-treatment helps to loosen soiling before washing.
- Use warm water to soak or pre-treat textiles with stains. Hot water can fix stains.
- Most stains are easier to remove when they are still fresh.
- Before stain treatment, clarify what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of fabric it is and whether this fabric is colourfast. (Check the care label)
- Washing and drying can fix certain stains.
- Start with cold or warm water.
- If it is recommended to use bleach, it is important to choose one that will not affect the fabric.
- Place the affected area with the stain facing downwards on a paper towel or white cloth.
- Apply stain remover to the stain from behind. In this way, the stain is pressed out of the fabric instead of through it.

Below you will find the most common measures to treat stains. After the treatment wash at the maximum temperature allowed for the fabric.

Blood	Rinse immediately with COLD water or soak with bile soap.
Chewing gum	Let the chewing gum harden with ice in a plastic bag. Scrape off as much as possible and dab with benzine.
Cocoa, chocolate	Dab with COLD water or soak with bile soap. If the stain remains stubborn, rub in some detergent and rinse in cold water.
Coffee	Wipe quickly and rinse in COLD water. If the stain remains stubborn, rub in some detergent.
Cream/Milk	Wipe quickly and rinse in COLD water. If the stain remains stubborn, rub in some detergent.
Ice cream	Dab with benzine.
Deodorant	Rub with vinegar and then rinse in COLD water.
egg	Soak with COLD bile soap, rinse.
Fabric softener	Rub with a bar of soap.
Fruit stains	Treat immediately with COLD water. If the stain remains stubborn, rub in some detergent.
Grass	Dab with benzine. Rub with bile soap.
Grease and oil	Place the affected area with the stain facing downwards on an absorbent cloth and treat from the reverse side. Dab with benzine or dry cleaning agent.
Iron or rust	Apply lemon juice and salt and place in the sun.
Lipstick	Dab with methylated spirits or wash with WARM water with detergent. Moisten the spot with lemon juice, let it dry in the sun. If the stain remains stubborn and the fabric allows it, use bleach.
Mud	Brush off dried mud. Rinse in COLD water.If the stain remains stubborn, rub in some detergent.
Oil paints	Scrape off fresh paint, dab with a non-flammable dry cleaning agent.
Watercolours	Treat garment while still damp and rinse in WARM water.
Burn marks	Dampen cloth with hydrogen peroxide, place on affected area and iron hot over it.
