Frequently Asked Questions - Acqua BLS 100 IMETEC

How do I install the washing machine?

Place the machine on a flat, stable surface. Remove all packaging and transport bolts. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap and the drain hose to a standpipe or sink drain. Level the machine by adjusting the feet and plug into a grounded outlet.

What should I do if the machine does not start?

Check that the door is properly closed, the water supply is turned on, and the machine is plugged in. Ensure the program is selected and the start/pause button is pressed. If still not starting, check the fuse or circuit breaker.

How do I clean the filter?

Turn off the machine and unplug it. Open the filter cover at the bottom front, place a towel to catch water, unscrew the filter and remove any lint or debris. Clean under running water and reinstall securely.

Why is the machine making unusual noises?

Unusual noises may be due to unbalanced loads, foreign objects (coins, buttons), or worn bearings. Check pockets before washing, redistribute the laundry, and inspect the drum for objects. If noise persists, contact service.

How do I use the delay start function?

Select the desired wash program, then press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay in hours (e.g., 3h, 6h, 9h). Press Start/Pause; the machine will start after the set delay.

What does the 'E10' error code mean?

Error code E10 indicates a water supply issue. Check that the water tap is fully open, the inlet hose is not kinked, and the filter in the water inlet valve is not clogged.

Can I open the door during a cycle?

Once a program starts, the door is locked for safety. If you need to add laundry, pause the machine and check if the door unlocks. If the water level or temperature is too high, the door will remain locked for safety.

How often should I run the self-clean cycle?

It is recommended to run the self-clean cycle once a month to remove detergent residue and bacteria. Use a drum cleaner or run an empty hot cycle with a cup of white vinegar.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use a low-sudsing detergent suitable for front-loading washers (HE detergent). For delicates, use a mild detergent. Avoid using too much detergent; follow the manufacturer's dosage recommendations.

How do I enable the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button (often marked with a padlock icon) for 3-5 seconds until the indicator lights up. Repeat the same to disable. When active, buttons are locked except for the power button.
