Frequently Asked Questions - WAF 13601 BLOMBERG

How do I remove the transport bolts?

Before first use, remove the five transit bars from the rear panel using a 10 mm spanner. Loosen the bolts, turn them slightly to remove, then insert the supplied caps into the openings. Keep the bars for future transport.

What should I do if the washing machine won't start?

Check that the power cable is plugged in, the fuse is intact, the loading door is fully closed (push until it clicks), a programme is selected, and the Start/Pause button has been pressed.

Why is the 'No water intake' indicator glowing?

Ensure the water tap is fully open, the inlet hose is not kinked, the water inlet strainer is clean, and household water pressure is adequate. If the Aquasafe system has been triggered due to a leak, contact customer service.

How do I clean the foreign matter trap?

Switch off and unplug the machine, close the water tap. Drain remaining water via the drain hose behind the service door. Turn the foreign matter trap anti-clockwise to remove, clean it and the pump opening, then reinsert and tighten clockwise.

How do I activate the child-proof lock?

Press and hold both buttons indicated on the control panel (typically adjacent to the child lock symbol) simultaneously for about 2 seconds. The child-proof lock indicator lamp will glow. Repeat to deactivate.

Can I delay the start of a wash programme?

Yes, use the time delay function. Select the programme and any options, then press the +/- buttons to set a delay up to 96:00 hours. Press Start/Pause to begin the countdown. Do not use liquid detergent with time delay.

Why won't the door open after a cycle?

The loading door is locked during operation and for a short time after the programme ends. Wait until the Door indicator lamp glows, then pull the handle. If it still won't open a few minutes after the programme finishes, contact customer service. Do not force it.

What should I do if there is too much foam?

Excessive foam usually indicates too much detergent. Reduce the amount used next time. If the Foaming indicator lamp glows, the machine may stop temporarily; it will resume automatically. Use less detergent for soft water or small loads.

How do I drain remaining water before transporting?

Switch off and unplug the appliance, close the water tap. Open the service door, pull out the drain hose, remove the seal, and drain water into a bowl. Turn the foreign matter trap to release any residual water. Ensure no water remains to avoid freezing damage.

What is the maximum load for different fabrics?

Store the transit bars in a safe place.

• They will be required if the washing machine is to be transported again (e.g. if you move house).

⚠️ Never transport the appliance without installed transit bars!

The right location of installation

Install the appliance in a stable, level position in frost-free surroundings.

If there is danger of frost, drain all remaining water (see "Care and maintenance").

The floor must have sufficient load-carrying capacity!

If, for example, the washing machine and a dryer are stacked upon each other, they can – when loaded – have a total weight of up to 180 kg.

Important:

- Do not stand appliance on the power cable.

- Keep at least 1cm distance to walls of other furniture.

- Place the machine on a firm surface, never on a long-pile carpet or similar surface.

Levelling the machine

1. Adjust the feet until the machine is level and stands steady.

2. Important: Retighten all lock nuts.

Connecting the water supply

The machine can be connected to water taps with 3/4 inch BSP thread.

Important:

- Bear the permissible water pressure in mind (see "Technical specifications"). Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

- Do not connect to a water heater (instantaneous water heater or unpressurised boiler), as the water pressure is insufficient.

- Check with customer service for hose extensions. Do not use homemade extensions with hose clamps or similar!

- Use only the new hose supplied with the machine, not an old existing one!

- Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the hose!

Do not use a tool to tighten it.

1. If not already attached, manually screw the bent end of the supply hose tightly onto the rear panel of the machine (not in case of Aquasafe+).

1. Turn the water tap all the way on and check all connections for leaks; Turn the water tap off again. Correct the position of seals and screw couplings, if necessary.

Connecting the water drain

You can hang the drain hose over the edge of a wash basin, sink or bathtub – or connect it permanently to a drain pipe (siphon trap).

Important:

- Do not run the drain hose higher than 100 cm above floor level for the suds pump to be able to pump out. Don't go below the minimal height of 40 cm, otherwise water will come out.

- The water must be able to run off unhindered. Washbasins with a small drain are not suitable.

- The end of the hose must not immerge in the pumped-out water.

- Check with customer service for hose extensions. Do not use homemade extensions with hose clamps or similar!

- Use only the new hose supplied with the machine, not an old existing one!

- Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the hose!

Fastening the hose holder:

1. Pull the holder included in delivery over the end of the hose.

Preparing to wash

Sorting the laundry

- Sort the laundry by type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

Always follow the recommendations on the garment label.

Type of textiles and care symbols
Whites/coloureds: cotton, linen
Easy-care: Synthetics (polyester, polyamide); Blended fabrics (with cottonit Baumwolle)
Delicates: Delicate fabrics (rayon, silk, etc.); Curtains
Woollens: Only with wool stamp and labelled "Machine washable" machine washable
Hand wash: Do not	wash:

- Don't wash coloureds and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons will stain very much.

Preparing clothes for washing

Items of laundry with metal parts (e.g. underwire bras, belt buckles, metal buttons) will damage the machine. Remove metal parts or place the items

After completion of the programme cycle:

i If the »Door« indicator lamp is glowing, the loading door can be opened (see "indicator lamp").

1. Press »On/Off« 18 button.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Leave door and detergent dispensing drawer open to dry.

in a cloth bag, pillow case, or something similar.

- Empty pockets, remove all foreign objects (e.g. coins, pens, paper clips). If possible: Turn pockets inside out and brush.

- Place small items of laundry (e.g. tights) in a cloth bag, pillow case or something similar. This can also help you to avoid searching for lost socks.

- Handle curtains with special care. Remove non-stainless curtain runners and lead tape. Place runners that can't be removed in a cloth bag, pillow case or something similar.

- Close zippers, sew on loose buttons, mend unstiched seams and tears.

- Only wash woolens that are labelled "machine washable" or "handwashable" – and only with the appropriate programme.

• Wash new coloured items of laundry separately – they may "bleed".
• Heavy stains should be treated appropriately before washing. If in doubt, check with a chemist or dry-cleaner.
• Use only dyes/discolouring and antiliming agents suitable for machine wash. Make sure to follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash jeans and delicates inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora-wool in the freezer compartment for a few hours before washing – this reduces number of fluff balls formed.

The right load capacity

- The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soling and the wash programme you wish to use.

Please follow to the information in the "Programme table".

Detergents and softeners

The detergent dispensing drawer

The detergent dispensing drawer comprises 3 compartments:

– left compartment (II) for main wash
– middle compartment for fabric softener
– right compartment (I) for pre-wash

Washing results are adversely affected by an overloaded drum.

Always try to utilize the max. load.

The loading door

The loading door is locked when a programme is running; in this case the »Door« indicator light is OFF (see "Indicator lamps"). As soon as the »Door« indicator lamp goes on, the door can be opened.

• Pull on the handle to open the loading door.
• Place laundry items loosely in the drum; Add detergent if necessary (in an eco bag or dosing ball).
• Push the loading door firmly shut until you hear it lock into place. Take care no textiles are caught by the door.

- Always add detergent and fabric softener before starting the wash programme.

Never open the detergent dispensing drawer while the wash programme is still running!

Dosing devices

In case of programme without pre-wash, you can add washing detergent directly to the drum with a detergent bag or a dosing ball.

Liquid detergent

When using liquid or gel-like washing detergents, please note the following:

Liquid detergent may cause stains on your laundry if a time delay has been set.

• Don't use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.
• Don't use liquid detergent for the main wash in a cycle with pre-wash.

- Use the detergent manufacturer's dosing cup and follow the instructions on the package.

Choice of detergent

The type of detergent used depends on the type of textile, colour, degree of soiling and desired washing temperature.

• Use regular detergent for cottons (60 - 95 °C), otherwise use special detergent for coloured and delicate wash.
• Wash woollens only with a special detergent for woollens.
• Detergents using a modular system allow you to add bleach and softener individually.
• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines.

Detergent quantity

The amount of washing detergent to use depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

i Ask your local waterworks for the current level of water hardness.

Water hardness levels
1	soft	0...1.3	0... 7
2	medium	1.3...2.5	7...14
3	hard	2.5...3.8	14...21
4	very hard	>3.8	>21
		mmol/l ° dH

• It is absolutely necessary you proportion as recommended on the packing!
• For small amounts of laundry or only slight soiling use accordingly less detergent.

⚠️ Dose highly concentrated detergents very precisely.

Too much detergent causes an excessive amount of foaming, bad washing and rinsing results and a strain on water resources.

Too little washing detergent causes laundry to turn grey and calcification of the machine.

Fabric softener

Fabric softener is added into the middle compartment of the detergent dispensing drawer.

• Proportion as recommended on the packing!
- Fill only up to the mark level (»max«).
- Dilute viscous fabric softener with water before adding.

i If you use dryer or dry your laundry outdoors, you do not need fabric softener.

Starch

• Add liquid starch and finishing agent into the middle compartment.
• Mix powdered starch according to the directions on the package and like fabric softener, add to the middle compartment.
• Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle.
• Wipe off the drum after using starch.

The programme selector

The programme selector 13 can be rotated clockwise or anticlockwise.

You will find an overview of the programmes 13a to 13k in the "Programme table".

The programme is selected with the programme selector; however, it starts only when you press the »Start/Pause« button 20.

Main programmes

Depending on the type of textile, the following main programmes are available:

• Hot wash/Coloured (13a)
- Easy-care (13k)
• Delicates (13e)
- Woollens (13j)
- Hand wash (13i)

For special cases extra programmes are available:

• Hygiene + (13b)

This programme is only suitable for boil-proof clothes (95 °C). Increased hygiene is provided by an extended boiling period and an extra rinse cycle. Useful for baby-clothes and clothes worn by sick persons.

• Active 40 °C (13c)

This programme thoroughly exploits the detergent at 40 °C and thus saves energy. Suitable for garments for

which you would otherwise use the Coloureds 60 °C programme.

- Mini 30 (13d)

Use this programme, for quickly washing small number of cotton/blended fabrics. Suitable for clothes that are normally worn for a short time such as sportswear.

Each of these main programmes comprises a complete washing process, including washing, rinsing and if required, spin cycles.

Always match the programme to the fabric type, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the recommendations on the garment label.

Different temperatures can be selected in most main programmes.

i Select the temperature only as high as absolutely necessary.

A high temperature means high power consumption.

Special programmes

For specific applications you can select any of the following special programmes:

- Rinse (13h)

Use this programme e.g., when you want to soft rinse or starch separately.

- Spin (13g)

This programme spins with maximum possible rpm in the default setting.

You should reduce the speed for delicate fabrics!

- Drain (13f)

This programme allows you to drain water, e.g. when you put already soaked clothes into the appliance and want to wash them at a later time.

The buttons

Depending on the programme specific additional functions 19a to 19f can be activated by pressing a button.

19a 19b 19c 19d 19e

- Press the required buttons before starting the programme.

- Meaningless combination of buttons cannot be selected together. Example: »Intensive« 19b and »Quick wash« 19e.

Prewash

A pre-wash can be activated with the 19a button.

i A pre-wash is only worth while with heavily soiled laundry.

Without prewash you save energy, water, washing powder – and time.

Intensive

The 19b button extends the washing time in the main wash cycle. Washing powder can work more effectively and you can wash at lower temperatures – thereby saving energy.

- With this button normally soiled linens/coloureds can now be washed at 60 °C instead of 95 °C.

- Normal soiled easy-cares you can wash at 40 °C instead of 60 °C, plus this button.

The »Intensive« function can only be used together with the »Prewash« function. As soon as you press the »Intensive« button a pre-wash cycle is automatically coupled to it.

Extra rinse

An extra rinse cycle is activated with the 19c button.

- Use this function only if you are sensitive to washing detergent residue. The increased water consumption is a burden to the environment – and to your purse.

Easy iron

If you press the button 19d, the drum movement is reduced and spinning is limited to reduce creasing. In addition, the washing is done at a higher water level.

- Use this button for delicate fabrics that easily crease.

The maximum load is then

- for linens/coloureds: .... 3.0 kg

– for synthetics: ..... 1.5 kg

- for delicate fabrics: .... 1.0 kg

Quick wash

With button 19e the wash time is shortened.

- Use this function for small loads or less soiled laundry.

Child-proof lock

With the Child-proof lock 19f you can guard the appliance against children's hands. No changes can then be made to a running programme.

To activate the Child-proof lock:

- Press both buttons shown above at the same time and hold for approx. 2 seconds until the »Child-proof lock« 17a indicator lamp starts glowing.

Spin speed selector

i The appropriate maximum spin speed is automatically set in each programme. The current value is indicated by the lights 12a.

You should reduce the speed for especially delicate fabrics.

To deactivate the Child-proof lock:

- Press the same two buttons at the same time and hold for approx. 2 seconds until the »Child-proof lock« 17a indicator lamp goes off.

• By repeatedly pressing the »Spin« 21 button you can change the speed—or completely disable the spin cycle.
• In the »No spin« 12c setting no spinning takes place; water is only drained.
• In the »Rinse hold« 12b setting the programme stops after the last rinse cycle. The laundry remains in the water (to protect against creasing). A blinking display notifies you that the rinse stop has been reached. For steps after this, refer "Quick instructions for daily use".

The higher the spin speed, the lower the residual moisture. If you wish to dry your laundry subsequently in a dryer, select the maximum possible speed – this saves energy when drying.

Display

The display 16 shows the time remaining for the programme to complete. The time for hours and minutes is displayed as "hh:mm". For example, a time of 10 hours is shown on the display as "10:00" and 1 minute as " : 1".

The length of a programm depends on the type of program and the additional functions selected. The details in the table "Technical data and consumption figures" refer to programmes without additional functions.

With the time delay function you can delay the programme start. You can enter a time delay of up to 96:00 hours. Setting can be made in increments of 30-minutes.

Do not use liquid detergent when you set time delay! Risk of staining of the textiles.

1. Open tap, load drum and fill in detergent.
2. Select programme, select additional functions and spin speed, if necessary.
3. Set the desired time delay using the buttons »+/-« 15a/15b. The Time delay 17e indicator lamp starts glowing. The total time delay appears in the display for a few seconds. Afterwards, the time remaining until the end of the programme is displayed.
   Example: You select the programme Mini 30. The display indicates " :30". You set a time delay of two hours.
   " 2:00" appears in the display for a few seconds. Afterwards the display shows " 2:30".

i Pressing and holding the »+« or »—« button causes the display to change faster.
4. Press the »Start/Pause« button. The time delay countdown phase begins.

Progress of programme

This row of indicator lamps shows the progress of the currently running programme.

The colon at the centre of the display begins blinking.

During the time-delay period more laundry can be loaded. At the end of the delay countdown the »Time delay« 17e indicator lamp goes out and the washing cycle begins.

Changing the delay time

If you want to change the time during the countdown:

1. Press the »Start/Pause« button. The colon at the centre of the display stops blinking.
2. Set the desired time delay with the »+/—« buttons.
3. Press the »Start/Pause« button. The time delay countdown phase begins. The colon at the centre of the display begins blinking. The display shows the time remaining for the programme to complete.

Cancelling the time delay

If you want to cancel the time delay count-down and start the programme immediately:

1. Press the »Start/Pause« button. The colon at the centre of the display stops blinking.
2. Set the time delay to " : 0" with the »+/-« buttons.

The indicator lamps 17a to 17e signal important states of the machine to you.

The indicator lamp 17a glows when the Child-proof lock is activated.

- See "Child-proof lock" for information on deactivating the Child-proof lock.

»No water intake«

The indicator lamp 17b glows if water does not flow in properly.

- Things you should check:

– Is the water tap all the way on?
- Inlet hose bent?
– Is the inlet filter soiled? See "Water inlet strainer".
– Is household water pressure noticeably low?

»Softener«

The indicator lamp 14d glows at the beginning of the soft rinsing cycle.

»Spin«

The indicator lamp 14e glows at the beginning of the final spin cycle – after the soft rinse cycle or in the special programmes for »Spin« and »Drain«.

i If the machine isn't spinning, the programme may be in rinsehold. Or the automatic spin correction system has been activated due to excessive imbalance.

A programme can be interrupted by pressing the 20 button. The button then blinks. To continue the programme, press the 20 button again.

- If the indicator lamp still continues to glow, call the customer service – it is possible that the "Aquasafe" or "Aquasafe+" (depending on the model) has blocked the water supply.

»Foaming«

The indicator lamp 17c glows when too much foam is formed.

- Use a bit less detergent the next time you wash.

»Door«

The indicator lamp 17d glows when the loading door can be opened.

- Check drum for foreign objects.

Rust stains may occur due to foreign objects made of metal. In such cases: Clean the drum with a stainless steel cleaning agent. Never use steel wool or scrub sponges.

Housing and control panel

When necessary:

• Clean cabinet with soap suds or a mild cleaner; wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Use only a soft, damp cloth to clean the control panel.

Never use a scrub sponge or a scouring agent. These will damage the enamel and plastic parts.

Foreign matter trap

• Clean the foreign matter trap at least once after every 40 wash cycles!
• Clean foreign object trap, if foreign objects (coins, buttons, baby socks, etc.) are blocking the suds pump.
• Drain left-over water before cleaning (see below).

Draining remaining water

Drain off the water completely...

• before cleaning the foreign matter trap;
- before transporting the machine (e.g. when shifting house);
- when there is a power failure ("emergency draining");
- when there is a danger of frost.

At room temperatures below 0 °C the remaining water in the appliance could freeze, damaging it.

1. Switch appliance off, unplug the power cable, close the water tap.

⚠ Allow hot suds to cool off sufficiently. This poses a risk of scalding.

1. Open the service door by pushing on the button. Take out the drain pipe and hold it over a bowl. Pull the seal off the drain hose and allow the water to drain out one bowl at a time.

1. Clean foreign object trap and the pump opening. Check if the pump impeller (in the pump opening) can be turned freely.
2. Replace the cap on the drain hose and put it away.
3. Replace the foreign object trap and turn it tight (in clockwise direction).
4. Close the service door.

Water inlet strainer

Clean if water flows very slowly, or not at all.

1. Switch off the machine, turn off the water tap.
2. Take the inlet hose off.
3. Pull out the strainer in Aquasafe or the two strainers in Aquasafe+ (depending on the model) with universal or needle nosed pliers, clean with a small soft brush and fit back.
