Frequently Asked Questions - GWN 47230 GRUNDIG

How do I activate the Child Lock on the Grundig GWN 47230?

Press and hold the 1st auxiliary function button for 3 seconds. The display will show a countdown 'CL 3-2-1' and then 'Child Lock Enabled'. To deactivate, press and hold the same button for 3 seconds again until the symbol turns off.

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

First, check if the drain hose is clogged or twisted. Clean or flatten it. If the problem persists, clean the pump filter as described in section 7.5 of the manual. Turn off the machine, unplug it, and wait for the water to cool before cleaning the filter.

How do I clean the pump filter?

Unplug the machine and let the water cool. Open the filter cap (located at the bottom front). If the product has an emergency draining hose, pull it out and drain water into a container. Otherwise, place a container under the filter and slowly unscrew it counterclockwise until water flows. Drain completely, then remove the filter, clean it, and reassemble.
Warning: Water may be hot and cause burns.

Which programmes are suitable for wool laundry?

Use the WoolProtect programme for machine-washable wool items. This programme has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company. Always follow the garment care labels and use special wool detergent. Maximum load is 2 kg, maximum temperature 40°C.

How do I use the End Time function?

After selecting the programme, temperature, spin speed, and auxiliary functions, press the End Time button to set the desired finish time (up to 24 hours). Then press Start/Pause. The machine will start so that it finishes at the set time. Note: Do not use liquid detergent with End Time as it may stain clothes.

Why is there too much foam in the machine?

Excessive foam can be caused by using too much detergent, using the wrong detergent type (e.g., not HE), or improper storage. Reduce the detergent amount and use only detergents suitable for automatic washing machines. Also ensure the detergent drawer is clean and dry. If foam overflows, mix 1 tablespoon of softener with 1 liter of water and pour into the main wash compartment.

How can I cancel a running programme?

Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds. The display will show '3-2-1' and the machine will turn off. To drain water before opening the door, select the Spin+Drain programme. Note: If Child Lock is active, you must deactivate it first.

What is the maximum load for the Grundig GWN 47230?

The maximum dry laundry capacity is 7 kg. However, the actual load depends on the programme and fabric type. For example, the Wool programme has a max of 2 kg, and the Synthetic programme has a max of 3.5 kg. Always refer to the Programme and Consumption Table in the manual.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Remove the drawer by pressing the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pulling towards you. Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it. Wash the drawer and siphon with lukewarm water using a brush. Wipe dry and reassemble. Cleaning should be done every 4-5 cycles to prevent detergent buildup.

What does the 'Rinse Hold' function do?

The Rinse Hold function keeps the laundry in the final rinse water without draining or spinning. This prevents wrinkles if you cannot unload immediately. To release the water and spin, select a spin speed and press Start/Pause. The machine will then drain and spin the laundry.

Installation

- Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User Manual bag into the holes on the rear panel. (P)

■ Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 °C) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 °C) is for cold water inlet.

Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.

Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

3.4 Connecting to the water supply

The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 - 10 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 - 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

WARNING: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.

WARNING: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

WARNING: Check that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

- Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.

- 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.

Installation

3.5 Connecting to the drain

■ Connect the end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain, sink 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.

■ Attach the hose at 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.
• Pay care not to bend the end of the hose, step on it or pinch the hose 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.

3.6 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, noise and vibration problems.

• 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

The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

■ Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
■ Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
- When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
■ Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

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 lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

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.

Preparation

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 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.

Preparation

• 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.

7.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum

Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing

complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in the machine. Before starting the programme, put a tea glass of (max. 100 g) of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. "2"). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing check that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

Maintenance and cleaning

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

WARNING: Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

7.3 Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth. Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

7.4 Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

• Close the taps.
  ■ Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.
  Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

7.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months.

Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.

Maintenance and cleaning

In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

WARNING: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

WARNING: If the product is not in use, turn the tap off, detach the supply hose and drain the water inside the machine against any freezing possibility in the region of installation.

WARNING: After each use close the supply hose tap of the product.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

■ Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

WARNING: Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 °C. To avoid burning risk, clean the filter after the water in the machine cools down.

■ Open the filter cap.
- If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.
