Detergent drawer
o 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.
o 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.
o 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
o A bleaching agent can be used if it first diluted with plenty of
water before pouring it into the drum.
o You should always follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using a bleaching agent to avoid damage to clothing.
o 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.
Page 12
12
Softener
o 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.
o 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:
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.
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.
Page 13
13
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.

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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o All the buttons will be deactivated and the display will show “CL”
with a safety lock icon and the remaining or preset time alternatively.
o 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.
Page 18
18
Imbalance control
o 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.
o 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.
o When the lid is closed, the spin part of the cycle will restart
automatically in a few seconds.
Maintenance and cleaning
In daily use
o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the
detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
o 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.
o Close the water tap.
o 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.
o Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the
machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
o 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.
Page 19
19
Detergent drawer
Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any detergent residue that has built up.
o Remove the drawer and wash in warm, soapy water.
o Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer
recess, so you should also clean this out using a brush.
o 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.
o 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.
o You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed,
or there are any foreign bodies in the filter.
o Locate the filter flap that is on
the side of the washing machine drum.
o
Remove the filter cover by gently pulling it upwards to allow access to the filter.
Page 20
20
o Detach the filter from
the drum wall.
o Wash the filter and filter cover in warm soapy water before
drying thoroughly.
o Clip the filter back into
position on the drum wall.
o Reattach the filter cover by sliding it
back down into its original position.

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 by hand 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.
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%).
Page 22
22
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
My garments are looking grey and there are limescale deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.
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; white residue
after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments being insufficiently rinsed by the washing machine.
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.

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
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o You should also level off the washing machine, using the
adjustable feet on the base of the appliance.
o There should be a gap of 2 cm either side of the washing
machine; a 10 cm gap should be left behind the appliance.
Page 25
25
Adjusting the height of the appliance
o Place the machine on a solid and level floor surface.
o 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.
o The adjustable feet of the washing machine allow you to correct
the levelness of the appliance.
o First unscrew the adjusting nut using a spanner.
o Adjust the height of the legs by rotating the foot.
o When the appliance is set to the correct height, screw the nut
back tightly to lock into position.
o 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 spacers
o Remove the spacers from the accessories provided with the
appliance.
o Each spacer has two clasps as shown in the drawing on the next
page. Ensure that clasp A is secured to the right hand slot of hole 1. Clasp B should be secured to the left hand slot of hole 1.
o Fix the second spacer to hole 2 using the same method as
above.
Page 26
26
Installing the bottom cover
o The bottom cover should be placed between the machine case
and the foam lining.
o After unpacking the machine, turn the appliance upside down
gently onto a soft surface such as a towel or blanket.
o 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.
Page 27
27
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.
o 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.
o Connect the inlet pipe to
the water supply tap using the screw thread. Make sure it is securely connected.
o Ensure that a washer is placed inside the other end of the inlet
pipe joint to prevent the pipe from leaking.
o Place the inlet pipe into the inlet valve at a vertical angle and
fasten it securely.
o 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.
Page 28
28
Connecting to the water outlet
o Remove the accessories which will include a drainage pipe,
clamp and sealing ring.
o Position the clamp over the drainage pipe.
o Fix the sealing ring onto the water outlet port.
o Attach the drainage pipe over the sealing ring onto the water
outlet port.
o Reposition the clamp over the drainage pipe and sealing ring.
o 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.
Page 29
29
o The drain hose should not be positioned any higher than 90 cm
as this will cause drainage problems.
o You can place the end of the drain hose in your drain pipe. Push
it a short way down into your drain pipe.
o IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply into the
water pipe, as this may cause siphoning.
o 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.
o ALWAYS use an elbow to bend the drain hose at a proper
bending angle. Fix it well when using the elbow.
o NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL
LENGTH.
o You should ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or
knotted before using the machine.
Power supply
o IMPORTANT: The
electrical socket must still be accessible once the appliance is installed.
o 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.
o DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE
