Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
o 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).
o Your washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o 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.
o 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.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
o Coloured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.
o 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.
12
Page 13
A selection of wash care symbols
o 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.
o If the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then
please refer to the washing machine program chart. This gives
more detailed descriptions of the types of fabric that are suitable
to be washed using a particular wash program.
13
Page 14
Detergents and conditioners
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will
depend on
o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
o 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.
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the
liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the
detergent manufacturer. All instructions on the detergent packaging
should be followed.
If you are going to use liquid detergent in the
soap drawer, then you must insert the dividing
section into the detergent drawer.
The liquid detergent should be poured into the
front section of the drawer.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water
softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not
become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will
allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening
agent, the recommendations of the
manufacturers should be followed.

Maintenance and cleaning
In daily use
9 Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the
detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
9 Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle
has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and
to protect the door seal.
9 Close the water tap.
9 We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains
supply, when it is not in use.
Control panel and washer dryer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on
either the control panel or operating parts.
9 Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the
machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
9 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.
o Pull the detergent drawer a little way,
then push down the tab that is on the
right hand side of the drawer. Whilst still
holding down the tab, pull out the drawer
until it slides out fully.
20
Page 21
o Use warm water and a brush to thoroughly
clean the three compartments of the
detergent drawer.
o Clean the area that the detergent drawer slides into with a
brush.
o Replace the detergent drawer by placing it back into the slot.
Then push the drawer fully back into position.
The washer dryer drum
The drum of your washer dryer 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.
9 Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate
stainless steel cleaning agent.
Door
9 You should regularly check to see if any deposits have
formed, or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door
gasket. This sits inside the opening of the porthole door.

Poor wash results
My garments are looking grey and there are limescale
deposits present in the drum of my washer dryer.
o There is not enough detergent being added.
o The incorrect detergent is being used.
o Stains are not being pre-treated.
o 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.
o The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease
and were washed without enough detergent.
o The wash temperature selected was too low.
o 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.
After the final rinse, I can still see foam.
o 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.
o Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents, and white
residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments
not being rinsed properly.
o 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.
22
Page 23
Cleaning the drain pump filter
IMPORTANT: Switch off your washer dryer and disconnect
the plug from your mains supply.
You should clean out the filter approximately every twenty
washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then
your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water
efficiently.
o Open the flap that covers the filter.
o Place a shallow dish underneath the flap, this will catch any
water residue that comes out of the machine when the filter is
opened and removed.
o Turn the filter a quarter turn anti clockwise, water
will start to come out of the drain pump. Continue
to turn the filter anti clockwise until you reach a
half turn, more water will come out of the drain
pump.
o When all the water has
drained out of the
washing machine, turn
the filter several times
anti clockwise, until it can
be removed completely.
23
Page 24
o Remove the filter and
rinse out the filter under
the tap. Remove any
debris from the filter.
o Remove any debris that is in the area of the appliance that you
removed the drain pump filter from.
o Screw the filter clockwise back into position, making sure that it
is fully tightened. You should keep turning until you cannot turn
it any further.
o Shut the filter flap.
o IMPORTANT: Do not perform this operation if the
appliance has stuck on a cycle, until the water inside the
machine has cooled sufficiently. Otherwise the water that
comes out of the drain pump filter may still be hot.
Winter storage
o You should install your appliance in a location where it will not be
subjected to freezing temperatures.
o If you are going to store your appliance in a location where the
temperature will drop below freezing in winter, then you should
follow the table below.
24
Page 25
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.
o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or
grass.
o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
Stain removal rules
o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
o 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).
o Washing and drying can fix some stains.
o When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is
safe for the fabric.
o 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.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE
YOURSELF.
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is
under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an
appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out
charge.
The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform
any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a
way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused
to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a
repair.
This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in,
sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in
front of the appliance, like plinths. Or any installation other
than the one specified by Baumatic Ltd. has been completed.
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the
warranty card that you receive with the appliance when it is delivered.

General troubleshooting
Water under the washer dryer
o Tighten the drain pump filter.
o Check the drain and inlet hose and make sure that they are both
fully tightened.
Washer dryer vibrates during the spin cycle
o Check that the transport locking devices have been removed (see
installation instructions).
o Make sure that the washing machine is installed on a flat and level
floor.
o Ensure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor, by pressing
down on each corner and making sure that the appliance is stable.
o If it is unstable then follow the “Positioning and leveling the
appliance” section.
Poor spin results
o Clean the drain pump (see “Cleaning the drain pump filter” section).
Water in the detergent dispenser
o Although there will be some water residue left in the detergent
drawer after a wash cycle has completed. If the drawer is full of
water then you may need to clean the detergent drawer.
IMPORTANT: Your appliance has an unbalance control system.
If this system detects that the washload is unevenly distributed
inside the drum. Your washer dryer will try to redistribute the
load before spinning. If after several attempts it is unable to
redistribute the washload, then the appliance will either spin at
a slower speed or skip the spin cycle and drain.
Uneven load distribution can be caused by too large a wash
load or too small a wash load. It can also occur if a single item
if washed inside the appliance.
