Frequently Asked Questions - 11800 Creda

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Remove the drawer by pressing the release button. Wash it under warm water with a soft brush, then dry thoroughly before reinserting.

What does the 'E01' error code mean?

Error E01 indicates a door lock issue. Ensure the door is fully closed and try restarting the machine. If it persists, call service.

How often should I clean the pump filter?

Clean the pump filter every 3 months or if the machine fails to drain. Open the filter cover, drain any water, and remove debris.

Can I wash a duvet in this machine?

Duvets larger than 2 kg may overload the drum. Check the care label and use a duvet program if available, or wash at a launderette.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING — THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. SUITABLE FOR USE ON 240V AC.

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug. Fuse covers may be obtained from:

Spares Department, TI Creda Limited, P.O. Box 5, Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent ST11 9LJ.

13 amp replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.

Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below:—

Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket — with the obvious consequent danger.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:—

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured green or green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.

Note: Socket outlets are not permitted in bathrooms, neither should any provision be made for connecting moveable electrical appliances. No stationary appliance is to be installed within reach of a person using bath or shower.

This appliance conforms to B.S. 800: 1977 and EEC directive 76/889 regarding suppression of radio and television reception interference.

Controls

Door Lock

Press the door release button to open the door. The door n be opened only when the Programme Selector is set to 'O'.

THE DOOR SHOULD NEVER BE OPENED WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS VISIBLE IN THE DOOR WINDOW.

The Programme Selector may be moved forward manually to 'O' during your wash but a short time delay will prevent the door from being opened immediately.

Programme Selector On/Off Switch

The Programme Selector is marked to give Pre-Wash, and the nine ITCL (International Textile Care Label) wash programmes for the various care code labels found on clothing. The selector should be turned in a clockwise direction only and pulled out to switch the machine on. It should never be turned when it is in the On position i.e. pulled out.

Indicator Light

This light will glow when the machine is plugged in and the electricity is switched on.

Variable Temperature Control

The variable temperature control is used in conjunction with the programme selector and should be set to the temperature that is shown on the Care Labels on the garments to be washed. It can also be used to vary the wash programmes to your particular needs. For example, large and bulky items such as cotton bedspreads could be washed at programme 6 (which gives a higher water level wash) with a temperature setting suitable for the colour of the item concerned. (95°C for white cotton. 60°C for fast coloured cotton). It is also very helpful where the garments do not have Care Label Code numbers or where mixed loads have to be washed — you are able to select your own wash temperature.

It is always safe to wash at a lower temperature than the temperature indicated by the ITCL number. Some of the ITCL programmes are the same except for the temperature indicated. The important things to remember are to wash at a temperature not higher than recommended, as colours may run or materials may shrink or be damaged, and to set the slow spin switch if this is necessary.

You may also wish to wash all loads at temperatures slightly lower than recommended in order to save electricity. This can be satisfactory in certain cases where materials are lightly soiled or generally easy to get clean. Almost unlimited programmes can be devised using the variable temperature control in conjunction with programme selector and slow spin switch. The use of a temperature significantly below those recommended, however, may result in gradual deterioration of whiteness and will necessitate periodic washing at the correct temperature to restore brightness.

It is operated by pulling out and rotating to required temperature.

Hold Switch

When pressed In the clothes will stay immersed and suspended in the final rinse water and the machine will stop. This is essential when washing delicate or synthetic articles if they are going to be left in the drum for a long time after final spindrying, as they will then become heavily creased. To start the machine again for the finishing spin, simply switch Off the hold switch. The drum will revolve to distribute the clothing and continue into spin.

Time Save Switch

When pressed In it eliminates one rinse fill, and the whole of the rhythm spin, by indexing the programme selector forward. This saves approximately 11 minutes.

Slow Spin Switch

When pressed In it reduces final spin from 1000rpm to 600rpm. It should always be used on programmes 6, 8 and 9 or permanent creasing may result. On programmes 3 and 4 it should be used if you do not intend to tumble dry and you wish to minimise creasing.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has three compartments, two for washing powder, and one for fabric conditioner. Reading from left to right the compartments are numbered II, I, III i.e. Pre-wash and programme 8, I. Main washes 1-7 and 9, II. Fabric conditioner III.

To carry out a simple white cotton wash

1) First ensure that your 13 amp plug from the machine is plugged in, and power is switched on at the mains socket, and that the water supply is on. Make sure that the Programme Selector is at the 'O' position and pushed in.
2) If the machine is not plumbed in remember you must first hook the drain hose into the standpipe or over the sink, ensuring that the sink plug has been removed and the sink grille is clear. Connect the red inlet hose to your hot supply and the grey inlet hose to the cold supply and turn the taps on. Do Not use your sink for other purposes at the same time as your washing machine is in use, as the discharge water could be very hot.
3) The drum of your machine will take up to a maximum load of 4kg./9lbs. dry weight of cotton (do not exceed this). Sort the clothes into batches and select items marked 1/95°C. Always ensure that pockets are emptied, and it is advisable to loosely tie apron and pyjama strings and do up zips. Badly soiled or stained clothes should be specially treated before washing (see pre-wash page 8). With the Programme Selector at 'O' press the door button to open the door, and load the machine. Clothes should be placed into the drum separately. Then close the door. If your water is of average hardness and you are washing a full load of clothes, add two cupfuls of detergent to the main wash compartment (marked II) in the detergent dispenser. To do this pull the dispenser drawer out as far as possible and add the powder. Ensure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed as otherwise leaks will occur. Only low lather powders suitable for front loading automatic machines should be used, and we recommend the use of Persil Automatic.
4) Pull out and set the variable temperature control to 95°C programme 1, then set the Programme Selector to Programme 1 (Turning clockwise) and pull the Programme Selector out to switch the machine On.
5) When wash programme is finished, press the Programme Selector in and press the door button to open the door. A short time-delay device will prevent the door from being opened immediately. Remove the clothes, turn off the water taps and the electricity at the wall switch. Turn the variable temperature control to its lowest setting — this may avoid accidental washing at too high a temperature on the next wash.
6) After completing your initial white wash, you can now proceed to successfully follow any of the other main wash programmes with complete confidence and knowledge of your machine.

International Textile care label codes

The Control Settings on your machine correspond with the International Textile Care Label numbers, which give the correct wash programme for the various fabrics. Selection of the wash programme is therefore simple and straight forward. Look for the wash code numbers

on the garment and select the same number on the Programme Selector and Independent Temperature Control. Where there are no numbers on garments, the following guide will help you select the right programme.

Care Label	Fabric and Soiling	Maximum Load	Select Programme	Maximum Temperature to Select	Select Slow Spin	Select Hold	Select Time Save

Variations on a simple wash

Pre-Wash

The pre-wash can be used before programmes 1 to 5 and 9 to loosen heavy soiling or certain types of stains. It should not be used for programmes 6, 7 or 8 as these programmes only require a short wash period. Set the variable temperature control dial to 40°C. When pre-wash is finished, the machine will stop. At the end of the pre-wash the door can be opened and clothes added or taken out. Push in the programme selector and re-select for the main wash, and re-select on the variable temperature control the temperature or number required for the main wash.

Energy Save

On the Independent Variable Temperature Control there is a special energy save temperature of 75^ C for programmes 1 and 9. This programme may be used for lightly soiled articles. Occasional washing at a high temperature should be carried out to restore brightness.

Using the machine for spindrying articles washed by hand

One rinse and spin dry

Set the programme selector to the final rinse, if short spin is desired press the slow spin switch In. If you wish to bypass rhythm spin, press the time save switch. The machine will now rinse and spin dry. Fabric conditioner can be added.

Spin dry only

Set the programme selector to final spin. If short spin is desired, press slow spin switch In.

Detergents Conditioners Water hardness

Washing Powder

Do use a low lather powder for front loading automatic machines, such as Persil Automatic. This type of powder is specially made to suit front loading automatic washers and can be used in hard or soft water. Other powders produce so much lather you may be unable to use as much as you need for good results. If you do not reduce the amount, there will be so much lather that clothes will not tumble freely or be properly washed and you may even get lather overflow.

Do use enough powder. To get your clothes clean it is essential that enough powder is used in the machine. The correct amount will depend on a number of things — the hardness of the water, the size of load and the amount of soiling present. As a guide we suggest you follow the table below and adjust the amounts in the light of your personal experience. You may find it helps to use a cup to measure the right amount at first.

How much to use in your Creda machine

	Programmes using the Pre-wash			Programmes not using the Pre-wash
	Pre-wash	Main-wash	Total
HARD WATER
Full load or heavy soiling	1 cup	2 cups	3 cups	2 cups
Small load or light soiling	1 cup	1 cup	2 cups	112 cups
SOFT WATER
Full load or heavy soiling	1 cup	1 cup	2 cups	112 cups
Small load or light soiling	12 cup	12 cup	1 cup	34 cup

Fabric Conditioner

A fabric conditioner, such as Comfort is strongly recommended. When added it will give a fresh softness to your washing and eliminate the problem of static cling from synthetics.

Fabric conditioner and washing powder can be put in the dispenser compartment at the same time. Add three caps full of Comfort fabric conditioner to the dispenser at the beginning of every wash and your machine will automatically add it to the final rinse.

The use of Comfort in your washing machine will also be beneficial in the drying process if you own a tumble dryer. Not only will the problem of static be eliminated but your clothes will be softer, and creasing will be even more reduced.

1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer from the detergent box. This can be done by pulling the drawer fully out then squeezing in the sides to release the catches.
   Clean any powder deposit from inside the box. Remove the syphon tube from the drawer and wash in clean water. Replace the syphon ensuring that it is fitted correctly, with the longest section outside the drawer. Replace the drawer into the box.
   b) Open the door, clean and dry the rubber door seal and porthole, close the door.
   c) Wipe the cabinet and top with a clean damp cloth. A cleaner may be used, but should not contain any abrasive that could damage the paintwork. We recommend that you use Handy Andy.

Something wrong with your machine

Before calling out a TIDAS, (TI Domestic Appliance Service) engineer have a quick look through the following fault finding list — it could save a lot of time and trouble.

SYMPTOMS	POSSIBLE CURE
It won't start	Is it switched on? Is there a fuse in the plug and if so has it blown? Are all the wires in the plug correctly secure?Is the Programme Selector knob fully pulled out?Is the door properly shut?
It doesn't fill	Are the taps and stop cocks turned on?Are the water inlet hoses kinked?Have you switched the machine on?
It's slow to fill	Check that the water pressure is correct (see separate installation sheet) and that the water filters are clean.Are water taps in use elsewhere in the house?
It won't empty	Is the drain hose kinked?Has the programme selector dial been inadvertently pushed in?
It takes a long time to heat up	Your own hot water supply may not be hot enough so that it takes the machine longer to heat the water to the right temperature.Check fill hose Connections, they may be the wrong way round.
Drum keeps on stopping and starting	It should do as this is the normal washing action.
Clicking from the machine	Don't worry, it should. This is the Programme Selector going through the wash sequence. In one particular instance, if the Time Save switch is in use the timer will click continually as it by-passes the Rhythm Spin period. During this period the drum will start and stop in quick succession. This is not a fault but part of the normal cycle.
Machine stops near end of the rinse period	Have you accidentally pressed in the Hold Switch? If so repress and the cycle will continue.
Suds are over-flowing	You could be using the wrong type of powder or too much (see page 9).To remove the suds, advance the programme selector to the first rinse and allow cycle to complete.

SYMPTOMS	POSSIBLE CURE
Water is leaking out	Are the hot and cold water inlet hose connections to the machine tight enough and are the seal washers in position?Is the detergent dispenser drawer fully closed?Is the flap correctly located in the holes at the rear of the 'main wash' compartment of the detergent drawer?Is the outlet from the detergent dispenser blocked? (Remove the Detergent Dispenser to check this).
The clothes come out wet	Have you incorrectly pressed in the Slow Spin Switch.
It makes a noise when it spins	Some noise is unavoidable with all machines. However it helps if the machine is standing on a flat surface and not touching anything. If persistent check that transit packing has been removed properly. (See Installation Sheet).
Machine continually emptying	This is probably as a result of the end of the outlet hose not being 46cm 18ins. from the floor. (See installation instructions).
Power Cut/ Failure	If you have a power failure while washing and wish to open the door.FIRST SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE SOCKET AND REMOVE THE PLUG.If the water level can be seen in the door window it must first be drained. This can be done by lowering the drain hose into a bucket or bowl. Take care however as the water could be very hot and fill more than one bowl. You can completely empty the machine of water in this way. When drained turn the programme selector to 'O' and push in. The door can now be opened.

If, you have been through the above and your machine still is not working properly you should call your nearest TIDAS (TI Domestic Appliance Service) office, see back cover.
