Frequently Asked Questions - WM-1186 Salton

How do I install the Salton WM-1186 washing machine?

Place the machine on a stable, level surface. Remove all packaging and transit bolts. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and the drain hose to a suitable drain. Plug into a grounded outlet. Ensure the machine is leveled using the adjustable feet.

What programs are available on the WM-1186?

The machine offers 15 programs including Cotton, Synthetic, Delicates, Wool, Quick Wash (15 min), Eco, Rinse & Spin, and Drum Clean. Refer to the program chart on the machine or manual for details.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Press the release lever inside the drawer and pull it out completely. Rinse under warm water and clean the compartments with a brush. Wipe dry and reinsert. Do this every 2-3 months.

What should I do if the machine does not start?

Check if the door is properly closed, the water supply is on, and the machine is plugged in. Also ensure the child lock is not activated. If the error persists, consult the manual.

How often should I run the Drum Clean program?

Run the Drum Clean program once a month to remove detergent residues and prevent odors. You can also add a special washing machine cleaner for better results.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The maximum load capacity is 5 kg for cotton programs. For other fabrics, reduce the load (e.g., 2.5 kg for synthetics, 1 kg for wool). Overloading may cause poor washing results.

Can I use the washing machine with a hot water supply?

No, the WM-1186 is designed for cold water supply only. The machine heats the water internally to the selected temperature. Connecting hot water may damage the unit.

How do I troubleshoot excessive vibration?

Ensure the transit bolts are removed, the machine is level, and the floor is even. Distribute laundry evenly in the drum. Check that the locking nuts on the feet are tightened.

What spare parts are available for this model?

Common spare parts include inlet and drain hoses, door seal, drum bearings, belt, pump filter, and control board. Contact Salton customer service or authorized dealers for genuine parts.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read al instruction carefully and keep them for future reference.
2. Remove all packaging.
3. Clean the cooking plates by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOKING SURFACE.
4. Dry with a cloth or paper towel.
5. Lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or a cooking spray.

HOW TO USE

1. Plug unit into a 120V AC outlet. The red power light will come on and the LCD will display '---'.
2. Press the On/Off button to turn the unit on. Press the Shade Button and select the desired setting. You can choose between 6 different shade levels.

Light colored waffles – Shade 1 or 2

Medium coloured waffles – Shade 3 or 4

Dark coloured waffles – Shade 5 or 6

NOTE: If you press the Shade Button to select the desired setting and then press the Rapid Button, the unit will heat faster and will make waffles slightly darker than the Shade chosen.

1. Close the lid. As the unit is preheating, the Shade setting will be shown in the LCD display and small blocks will scroll across the bottom of the screen. (If you pressed the Rapid Button, all 6 blocks on the bottom of the screen will flash instead).
2. Once the unit is preheated the Waffle Maker will beep and the Green Ready Light will illuminate. The blocks will stop scrolling across the LCD display or stop flashing if you pressed the Rapid Button.
3. Open the lid and pour batter (approximately 3/4 -1 cup) to fill the lower cooking grid. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of the grid.
4. Close the lid and rotate the unit 180^ to the right (clockwise). The LCD display will start to countdown. Do not open for at least 1-1/2 minutes. Opening too soon will cause under-baked waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.
5. When the LCD display has finished the countdown, the waffle maker will beep to let you know the waffle is now ready. Rotate the waffle maker 180^ to the left (counterclockwise). The waffles are done according to the Shade setting chosen. For a darker waffle, close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
6. At any time during the cooking cycle you can press the Reset Button to select a different Shade level.
7. Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the Waffle Maker with a wooden or plastic spatula. Never touch the cooking surface with sharp, pointy or metal objects. This could damage the non-stick surface.
8. To cook more waffles, there is no need to preheat the Waffle Maker. Simply follow steps 5 through 9 above.
9. Once you are finished cooking, press the On/Off Button to turn the unit off, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and leave unit open to cool.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Do not over mix batter or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear. The amount of batter required varies between 3/4 and 1 cup.
2. To retain crispness, let the baked waffle cool on a wire rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
3. Cooled waffles can be re-warmed by returning them to the hot waffle maker. Set the Waffle Maker to Shade 1 or 2, place the waffle on the grid, close the lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
4. The Belgian Waffle Maker has a non-stick surface for even baking and easy cleaning.
5. Waffles can be baked ahead of time. Prepare according to the recipes and cool on a rack for approximately 10 minutes. Store in your freezer for up to 2 weeks. Waffles can be heated by toasting in a toaster or toaster oven.
6. Unused batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug the Waffle Maker and allow it to cool.
2. Wipe the Cooking Plates with a cloth dampened with warm soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOKING PLATES.
3. Dry the cooking plates with a cloth or paper towel.
4. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleansers on the Cooking Plates as they may damage the non-stick coating.
5. If a small amount of batter has adhered to the Cooking Plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the baked-on food and allow to stand for 5 – 10 minutes. Wipe with paper towels.
6. Wipe the outside of the Waffle Maker with a soft cloth dampened in warm soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool.
7. Rinse with a dampened clean cloth. Dry.
