Frequently Asked Questions - BWM50 BAUMATIC

How do I clean the filter on my Baumatic BWM50?

To clean the filter, open the lower panel on the front, unscrew the filter cap, remove any debris, and rinse under water. Reinstall firmly. It's recommended to clean it every 2-3 months.

What does error code E01 mean?

Error E01 typically indicates a problem with the door lock. Check if the door is fully closed and the latch is not obstructed. If the problem persists, contact service.

Can I use tablet detergent in my washing machine?

Yes, you can use tablet detergents. Place the tablet in the drum before loading clothes. Do not put it in the detergent drawer.

How do I enable the child lock?

Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button for 3 seconds until the lock symbol appears on the display. Repeat to disable. This prevents accidental button presses.

What is the maximum spin speed of the BWM50?

The maximum spin speed is 1400 revolutions per minute (rpm). You can adjust it per cycle.

How do I clean the detergent drawer?

Pull out the drawer completely, press the release tab to remove it, and wash with warm water. Use a brush to clean the cavities. Dry and reinsert.

Why is my washing machine vibrating excessively?

Check if transport bolts are removed, the machine is level, and the load is balanced. Uneven loads can cause vibration during spin.

Can I delay the start of a wash?

Yes, use the 'Delay Start' button to set a delay up to 24 hours. Press the button repeatedly to set the desired time.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use a suitable detergent for automatic washing machines. For wool or delicates, use specific detergents. Avoid using too much detergent to prevent residue.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness. In hard water areas, do it every 3 months. Use a descaling agent or run a hot cycle with citric acid.

Detergent drawer

- Open the washing machine lid and pull out the detergent drawer to add detergent powder to the wash program. Then push the drawer back in before introducing laundry into the machine and setting the wash program. Only powder detergents should be placed in the drawer.

- If you wish to place detergent powder directly into the drum, you should dilute it first in warm water. You can then place the diluted detergent powder into the drum halfway through the main wash fill. When you lift the lid to introduce the detergent, you should ensure the machine has paused before doing so.

IMPORTANT: Do not place undiluted detergent powder directly onto clothes as this can cause discoloration.

IMPORTANT: You should always use a low sudsing detergent in your appliance.

- Liquid detergent can also be used if it is diluted first with a lot of water and then placed into the drum. You should follow the same procedure for detergent powder but choose a slightly higher water level.

Bleaching agents

○ A bleaching agent can be used if it first diluted with plenty of water before pouring it into the drum.

- You should always follow the manufacturer's directions when using a bleaching agent to avoid damage to clothing.

- You should always wash the laundry as soon as possible after the bleaching agent has been added. If the bleaching agent is allowed to sit on clothes for a long period it can cause damage.

Softener

• An automatic softener input device is not available with this machine, so if you would like to use it, you should pause the wash program before the last bleaching operation and introduce softener manually.
• You should always follow the manufacturer's directions when using softener to avoid damage to clothing.

The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance will depend on:

• The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent.
• The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
  The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the water.

Preparing the wash cycle

Preparing your garments for washing

- Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment's wash care label (see separate section on wash care symbols).

- Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling.

- Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.

- Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins etc).

Illustration of a hand holding a shaded object, possibly a device or tool, with no visible text or symbols.

- Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the wash.

- Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out before being washed in the appliance.

o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.

- Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the appliance.

- Coloured items and whites should be washed in separate wash cycles.

- New garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.

o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed inside the machine.

- The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.

Selecting a wash program

Detergent

• If you are placing detergent directly into the drum, you should dilute it first (See 'Detergent Drawer' section).
  ○ Alternatively, put detergent powder into the detergent drawer. Please see the table on page 14 for recommended amounts according to the water level and weight of laundry.
• For a normally soiled full load, dissolve dry powder detergent in warm water before adding.
• Use low sudsing detergent.

Choosing a wash program

• Place the laundry into the washing machine and close the lid.
• Use the program button (6) to select the most appropriate wash program for your laundry. Please see the table below for a general guide:

Wash program	Recommended laundry
NORMAL	Regular washing.
HEAVY To wash coats, jeans and other big clothes.
JEANS To wash heavy duty clothes like jeans and work uniforms.
GENTLE For washing wool or underwear or other delicate items.
SPEEDY To wash only slightly dirty clothes.

IMPORTANT: A NORMAL cold wash setting should be used for lightly soiled loads and for normally soiled full loads, a NORMAL warm wash setting should be used.

Selecting a wash temperature

- You can use the wash temperature button (5) to adjust the wash temperature for your chosen program. The table below shows an approximate temperature for each option:

Temperature option	Approximate temperature
Warm	35°C
Hot	45°C
Cold	5°C

- IMPORTANT: If the washing machine is not connected to a hot water supply, you should not select the hot or warm temperature options.

Setting the program features

- The machine will automatically set a default wash cycle that consists of a wash, rinse and then drain. If you wish to program alternative wash features, you can use the process button (2) to choose from the following options:

graph LR
    A["Wash Rinse Spin"] --> B["Wash"]
    B --> C["Wash Rinse"]
    C --> D["Rinse Spin"]
    D --> E["Spin"]
    E --> F["Soak Wash Rinse Spin"]
    F --> G["End"]

- If you select the SPEEDY wash program, the machine will set a wash, rinse and spin by default. This cannot be changed for this program.

Selecting a water level

- You can also select a water level for your wash program, according to the amount of laundry that you are washing, using the water level button (1). Please see the table below for a guide to the appropriate water level for different load sizes and the required amount of detergent.

		20	27	17

IMPORTANT: A high water level should not be selected for a washing load below 1 kg as water can splash during the cycle.

Washing load size

• The water level and amount of detergent required largely depends on the size of the wash load. By calculating the total weight of your items you can choose the most suitable wash program options.
• For a general guide to the weight of various laundry items, please see the table below.

Laundry item	Approximate weight (g)
1 x Sheet 400-500
1 x Pillowcase 150-200
1 x Quilt cover 700
1 x Tablecloth 400-500
1 x Teacloth 100
1 x Bathrobe 900-1200
1 x Towel 150-250
1 x Pair of jeans	400-500
1 x Shirt 150-200
1 x Nightdress 200
Underwear	100

IMPORTANT: The weights stated in the above table are approximate. The weight of individual items can vary depending on fabric, size and quality.

Beginning the wash program

Once you have set the correct wash program, you should check that the lid is securely closed and then press the start / pause button (7) to begin the program.
- If you wish to pause the program at any time, press the start / pause button (7) and then press it again to continue.

Delay start

You are able to delay the start of a wash cycle so the laundry is finished at a time that is most convenient to you.

• You should introduce the detergent into the detergent drawer or drum and then add the laundry as normal. You can then select your required wash program following the instructions outlined in the previous section.
• Instead of pressing the start / pause button (7) to begin the program straight away, you should press the preset button (3) to set a delayed time.
  ○ Each press of the preset button (3) will increase the delay time by 1 hour. The number of hours displayed indicates when the wash cycle will come to an end.
• The washing machine will begin the program automatically, at an appropriate time to ensure that the wash program is complete by the time you have set. For example, if you program a delay time of 3 hours, this means that the wash program will be finished in 3 hours.
• You can set a delay time from 2 to 24 hours.

Safety lock

In order to prevent any inadvertent operation of the control panel, you can set a safety lock to deactivate all of the buttons.

• After the wash program has started, press the preset button (3) and the wash temperature button (5) simultaneously for about 2 seconds. The machine will then beep to indicate that it has entered the safety lock state.
• All the buttons will be deactivated and the display will show “CL” with a safety lock icon and the remaining or preset time alternatively.
  To release the safety lock, press the preset button (3) and the wash temperature button (5) simultaneously for about 2 seconds again. The machine will beep again to indicate the safety lock has been deactivated.

Imbalance control

• If the laundry load is unbalanced when the washing machine begins to spin, the cycle will stop while more water is added to redistribute the load. This process may be repeated until the load is sufficiently balanced for the spin to continue.
• If there is excessive vibration during the spin part of the program, you should open the lid and wait until the drum stops moving. You should then redistribute the load evenly in the machine.
• When the lid is closed, the spin part of the cycle will restart automatically in a few seconds.

Maintenance and cleaning

In daily use

Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
- Leave the lid open for a short while after a wash cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the seal.
- Close the water tap.
- We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains supply, when it is not in use.

Control panel and washing machine cabinet.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on either the control panel or operating parts.

• Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
• If you ever spill any liquid detergent or conditioner from the detergent drawer onto the washing machine cabinet, then these should be cleaned up immediately as they could be corrosive.

Detergent drawer

Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any detergent residue that has built up.

• Remove the drawer and wash in warm, soapy water.
• Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using a brush.
  Once you have finished cleaning the detergent drawer and recess, you should slide the drawer back into its original position.

The washing machine drum

The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.

- Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate stainless steel cleaning agent.

Cleaning the filter

IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply.

You should clean out the filter approximately every ten washes. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently.

- You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed, or there are any foreign bodies in the filter.

Removing stains

Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine.

• Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or grass.
  o Pre-washing by hand helps to loosen soil before the main wash.

Stain removal rules

• Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
  Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
  ○ Washing and drying can fix some stains.
• When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• If you need to use a stain remover, put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead of through it.

Stain removal guide

	Stain	Removal	Method
	Alcoholic beverages	The stain should be first washed with cold water, then wiped with glycerine and water and rinsed with water mixed with vinegar.
	Shoe polish	The stain should be softly scratched without ruining the material, then rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case it is not eliminated, rub with 1 unit of pure alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with lukewarm water.
	Tea and coffee	Stretch the stained area of material on the top of a container and pour water as hot as the material can endure on it. If the type of material is suitable, wash it with lye.
	Chocolate and cocoa	Leave your clothes in cold water and rub with soap or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the material type can endure. If there is still a stain of oil left, wipe with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
	Tomato paste	Scrape the dried pieces without ruining the material, then leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by rubbing with detergent.
	Meat broth/egg	Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth wetted in cold water. Rub with detergent and wash with diluted lye.
	Grease and oil stains	First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with detergent and then wash with lukewarm soapy water.
	Mustard	First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with detergent and then wash. If the stain still does not disappear, wipe with alcohol (on synthetic and coloured cloth, a mixture of 1 unit alcohol, 2 units water should be used).
	Blood stain	Lay your clothes in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain still does not disappear, lay in mixture of water and ammonia (3 table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes.
	Cream, ice-cream and milk	Lay your clothes in cold water and rub the stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared, apply lye on the fabric of your clothes in proper proportion. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes).
	Mould	Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not disappear, it should be wiped with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
	Ink Hold	the stained area under cold water and wait until the inky water completely runs off. Then rub with water diluted with lemon juice and detergent. Wait five minutes and then wash.
	Fruit Stretch	the stained area of your clothes on the top part of a container and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot water on the stain. Wipe with cold water and apply glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after wiping with a few drops of white vinegar.
	Grass stain	Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your woollen clothes with alcohol (for coloured one, a mixture of 1 unit pure alcohol and 2 units of water).
	Oil paint	The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and washed.
	Burnt stain	If your fabric is suitable for use of lye, you can add lye into your washing water. For woollen fabric, a cloth dampened in oxygenated water should be pressed on the stain and it should be ironed with a dry cloth on it. It should be washed after rinsing well.

Poor wash results

Illustration of a kitchen appliance with a washing machine, paint bucket, and cleaning tools (no text or symbols)

My garments are looking grey and there are limescale deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.

- There is not enough detergent being added.

- The incorrect detergent is being used.

o Stains are not being pre-treated.

- The correct wash program or wash temperature was not selected.

I have followed the advice given above, but my garments are still coming out with grey stains on them.

- The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease and were washed without enough detergent.

- The wash temperature selected was too low.

Fabric conditioner has come into contact with the garments. If this happens try to wash out these stains as quickly as you can and try to avoid getting conditioner on the garments in future.

he final rinse, I can still see foam.

- Modern detergents can result in there still being foam in the final rinse, this does not mean that the washing is not being rinsed properly.

There is white residue on my garments when I remove them from the appliance.

- Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents; white residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments being insufficiently rinsed by the washing machine.

- You should shake out the garment or brush it off. In future possibly turn the garment inside out before it is washed. You may wish to move from a powder detergent and switch to a liquid detergent instead.

Installation

IMPORTANT: THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON. BAUMATIC ONLY SANCTION THE INSTALLATION GIVEN IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. YOU SHOULD KEEP THE TRANSIT PACKAGING, IN CASE YOU NEED TO TRANSPORT THE MACHINE IN THE FUTURE.

Locating your washing machine

Before commencing installation, check the location where you intend to install the appliance. You should make sure that you have everything in place that is necessary for the correct installation.
- Do not place or store your washing machine in a location where the ambient temperature could fall below 0°C, otherwise the water in it could freeze up.
o Never place or store laundry products on top of the appliance.
○ Install the washer on a flat, solid floor. If the washer is installed on an uneven or suspended floor, it could cause excessive noise and severe vibration, which may result in the malfunction of the appliance.

√ DO NOT PLACE THE WASHING MACHINE ON A CARPET OR A SUSPENDED FLOOR.

• You should also level off the washing machine, using the adjustable feet on the base of the appliance.
  There should be a gap of 2 cm either side of the washing machine; a 10 cm gap should be left behind the appliance.

Adjusting the height of the appliance

o Place the machine on a solid and level floor surface.

- If the floor is uneven, the appliance should be adjusted otherwise the washing machine will not function properly. The uneven surface also vibrates the machine and causes it to move from its original position while in use.

- The adjustable feet of the washing machine allow you to correct the levelness of the appliance.

- First unscrew the adjusting nut using a spanner.

○ Adjust the height of the legs by rotating the foot.

- When the appliance is set to the correct height, screw the nut back tightly to lock into position.

○ Make sure that the washing machine does not move when you press down the top four corners of the machine.

IMPORTANT: There should be no instability of the machine when the adjustable legs have been set to the correct level.

Installing the bottom cover

• The bottom cover should be placed between the machine case and the foam lining.
  ○ After unpacking the machine, turn the appliance upside down gently onto a soft surface such as a towel or blanket.
• Insert the bottom cover in the groove on the base from the back of the machine and fasten it in place with the self-tapping screws supplied.

Connecting to the mains water supply

IMPORTANT: The washing machine should never be connected to the water mains using an existing inlet hose, YOU MUST utilise the inlet hose that is provided with the appliance.

Your appliance should be connected to a cold and hot water supply.

• Ensure that a washer is placed inside the inlet pipe joint, as shown in the image, or the inlet pipe is at risk of leaking.
• Connect the inlet pipe to the water supply tap using the screw thread. Make sure it is securely connected.

- Ensure that a washer is placed inside the other end of the inlet pipe joint to prevent the pipe from leaking.

- Place the inlet pipe into the inlet valve at a vertical angle and fasten it securely.

- Connect the cold water source to the cool inlet valve using a cold inlet pipe. Connect the hot water source to the hot inlet valve using a hot inlet pipe. Do not confuse the two inlet pipes.

Connecting to the water outlet

- Your appliance is supplied with the drain hose already connected to the machine.

- Secure the drain hose to the water outlet, so that it cannot move whilst the washing machine is in use. The correct position of the drain hose is one which will prevent any water leaking onto the floor or other surfaces.

• The drain hose should not be positioned any higher than 90 cm as this will cause drainage problems.
• You can place the end of the drain hose in your drain pipe. Push it a short way down into your drain pipe.
• IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply into the water pipe, as this may cause siphoning.
  ○ Alternatively, you can place the end of the drain hose into a sink. You can secure the hose to the tap to hold it in position.
• ALWAYS use an elbow to bend the drain hose at a proper bending angle. Fix it well when using the elbow.

• NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH.
• You should ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or knotted before using the machine.

Power supply

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

○ IMPORTANT: The electrical socket must still be accessible once the appliance is installed.

- Consult the rating plate BEFORE making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug, is the same as that on the rating plate.

• DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.
• The moulded plug that is supplied with the appliance must be placed into an earthed and insulated socket.
• Broken or damaged power leads must only be replaced by a suitably qualified person. A power lead of a similar type must be used in replacement.
• IMPORTANT: We do not recommend that this appliance is connected to an extension lead.

Before first use maintenance wash

• When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we recommend that you perform a maintenance wash cycle, without any clothing being placed inside of the drum.
• This will check that all aspects of the installation are correct; it will also remove any deposits that may have been left on the drum by the manufacturing process.
• Select the NORMAL program (see the “Setting a wash program” section).

Error code failure system

If your appliance senses that it is not operating correctly, then an error code may appear on the LED display.

The following error codes can possibly be remedied by the customer and the steps outlined below should be followed.

BEFORE COMPLETING ANY MAINTAINEANCE ON THE APPLIANCE, IT SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR POWER SUPPLY.

Error code	Problem	Reason	Solution
E1	Water not draining.	○ Drainage pipe is kinked or blocked so the water cannot be drained.○ The drain pipe is located above 90 cm from the ground.	○ Open the lid after the drum has stopped spinning and check the drainage pipe.
E2	Machine isn't spinning.	○ The lid is not closed properly during the cycle.	○ Ensure the lid is properly closed.
E3	Excessive noise during spin.	○ The laundry is not distributed evenly in thedrum, so the load is colliding with the drum wall creating noise.	○ The machine will try tocorrect the load twice before omitting a warning.○ Open the lid and redistribute the load when the drum stops moving.
E4 Very little water is supplied.		○ Tap is not turned on, there is a water failure or low water pressure so the water cannot reach the set level after a long time.	○ Turn on the tap or re-use when the water pressure is normal.
E5 Delay start not work.		did ○ The lid was open during the preset time.	○ Ensure the lid is closed after setting a delay start.
E6 Abnormal water level sensor.		○ Water level sensor failure, short circuit or circuit break.	○ Call the Customer Care Helpline.

General troubleshooting

Problem	Possible	solution
○ When the machine starts from the RINSE function, the washing machine does not add water.	○ The washing machine will start from the SPIN process in order to spin out the water and detergent from the clothes, then input the water (if there is water in the tub it will drain out the water first).
○ The wash process changes from SPIN to RINSE.	○ When the clothes are not even inside the tub, the washing machine will input the water and make the clothes balanced and even.
○ The control panel is not responding during a program.	○ If you want to change the cycle after the washing machine has started, press the pause button and then change the program.○ Check that the safety lock is not activated.
○ There is a SPIN delay.	○ The washing machine will delay 15 to 60 seconds to enter the SPIN process after DRAIN or after select SPIN process only.
○ The first time the machine is used, there is some water flowing out the drainage pipe.	○ This is remaining water only, which is from the factory checking process.
○ Machine is completely unresponsive.	○ There is a loose connection in the power socket which needs tightening.○ The fuse is broken. Call an electrician to check the socket or fuse.○ Power cut.○ Voltage is too high or low.

IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains supply and then contact the Customer Care Department on telephone number 1800 444 357.
