Cautions and advice about using your washer dryer
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your washer dryer, please ensure you follow the instructions given below:
9 Select the clothes load correctly and choose the
appropriate programme.
9 Before opening the door, check that there
is no water in the machine and the pilot light is off.
9 Put the washing products in the right proportion
and in the right compartment.
9 Small garments such as socks, belts, etc.
are best put inside a bag to avoid their being lost.
9 Before putting clothes into the washing
machine, make sure that there is nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that the zips are undone.
9 If your machine has a filter, you should

Filling your Washing
Machine’s Dispenser Drawer with Detergent
The dispenser drawer consists of three compartments
1) Pre-wash / Bio-wash Compartment
This compartment should be used only when programmes involving pre-wash or bio­wash have been selected. The amount of power used will depend on the fabric type to be washed. We recommend following the detergent manufacturer’s directions.
2) Main wash Compartment
This compartment is used to store detergent that is going to be used in the main washing cycle of any complete washing programme.
3) Fabric Conditioner Compartment
This compartment is used for fabric softeners. At the end of the washing programme, water will automatically be siphoned out, leaving the compartment ready for the next wash.
:
IMPORTANT!
The detergent dispenser drawer and housing must be cleaned periodically to ensure that detergent and fabric softener do not build up and reduce the appliance’s efficiency. To remove the drawer, pull it forward to its fullest extent, lifting the front edge at the same time, then give a firm tug. The dispenser drawer should now be rinsed, dried and replaced.
13
Page 15
HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD I USE?
NOTE: You will need more detergent for washing cycles containing dirtier clothes.
o For very dirty
clothes, select a programme with pre­washing, fill compartment 1 with ¼ of the amount of the detergent you are putting in compartment 2.
o For clothes that are only
slightly dirty, do not pre­wash and put only a small amount of detergent into compartment 2 in your washing machine’s dispenser drawer.
CAUTION: Only use detergents for automatic
washing machines. The amount needed for different washing loads and types will be written on the packaging of your detergent.
NOTE: The harder the water in your area, the more detergent you will need to use.
SOFTENERS
9 Fill the softener compartment (far right in your detergent drawer) with softener. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing water through the siphon. Dilute high density softeners first.
FLUID DETERGENTS
9 You can use fluid detergents in all programmes without pre­washing. For this, move the fluid detergent level plate in the second compartment of the detergent drawer and pour in the amount of fluid detergent according to the levels on this plate.

Tips on washing your clothes.
Dirtiness
Sort the clothes according to dirtiness. Give special treatment to those which are very dirty or have got difficult stains.
Treat very dirty areas like collars and cuffs before washing.
Wash clothes that are only
slightly dirty in short programmes. In this way,
you will save energy as well as get better results.
Wash averagely dirty clothes in a normal wash programme.
Wash very dirty clothes in a
Long Programme with a
Prewash.
Sensitivity
Certain clothes, either because
of their fabric or the way they
are made, may be sensitive to
action of your machine. When
washing them, it is best to use
DELICATE PROGRAMMES.
You can wash woollen
garments( ) in the SPECIAL
WOOL PROGRAMME. Make
sure, first of all, that your
woollens are washable.

Once you have selected the programme (using the knob shown on previous page) & the temperatures you need for your wash, etc., press this button to start your washing cycle.
Note:
The button will be depressed on the console.
The ‘ON’ light will come on.
The door safety mechanism will engage at this
time.
WARNING – DO NOT INSERT ANY KIND
OF PLASTIC CONTAINER FOR DETERGENTS IN THE DRUM. THE DRYER COULD MELT THIS AND CAUSE DAMAGE!
Interrupting a Programme
You can interrupt a programme at any time
by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button. Simply do this and wait two minutes if you have to add or remove garments. Be careful that
the water level inside the drum is not too high and that the temperature is not very hot.
To resume
, once you have re-closed the door, simply press the ‘ON/OFF’ button. The programme will pick up where it had left off.
19
Page 21
At the end of a Wash Programme
Provided the programme completes without interruptions, you can open the loading door 2
minutes after it has completed. Take out your clothes. If you have just washed a full load, take out half of the laundry from the drum.
YOUR DRYER
The drying section of the washer-dryer operates like any other by blowing heated air onto wet clothes. This air is then extracted from the machine.
In your washer-dryer, the moisture-laden air is blown over cold water which causes the moisture to condense. It is then pumped out of the machine. Therefore, it is important that the machine is turned on and the drain hose is correctly located during the drying cycle.
NOTA BENE: YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT THE
HALF LOAD OPTION IN ORDER TO RUN YOUR DRYER. TO THIS END, YOU MUST NEVER FILL THE DRUM WITH MORE THAN A HALF LOAD OF WASHING OR WET CLOTHES. NOR SHOULD SUCH LAUNDRY BE DRIPPING WET. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS ADVICE WILL RESULT IN UNSATISFYING DRYING PERFORMANCE AND COULD POSSIBLY IMPEDE OR HARM YOUR MACHINE.
20
Page 22
TO USE THE DRYER:
CAUTION: Before using the dryer,
please read the following notes.
 Do not attempt to dry
items treated with solvents or petroleum based products. Such substances are volatile and may cause an explosion.
 Before using the dryer,
remove any plastic detergent containers.
 Do not over dry the
washing. Excessive drying may crease clothing and make ironing difficult.
 Do not put sleeping bags,
cushions or voluminous blankets in the machine. These will expand during drying and block airflow in the machine.
REMEMBER TO PRESS THE ½ LOAD BUTTON TO DRY!

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
Please note: Disconnect the power supply before
attempting maintenance or cleaning your washing machine.
Cleaning the outlet filter
If you are using the drying feature on your appliance, you will need to clean its filter out after every 3-4 washes. If you have been drying clothes that will leave a lot of fluff or lint, you will then need to clean this filter out after each such cycle.
If, however, you have only been using the washing function, you should then clean this filter after every 25 washing cycle programmes to keep the drain pump running efficiently (this will enable more efficient washing and rinsing).
* NOTE: If you do not fit the filter cover properly, it will leak water!

Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
DETERGENT DRAWER
Detergents may form sediment in your detergent drawer or in the housing of the detergent drawer over time…
To clean the sediment, pull out the detergent drawer from time to time and wash it out.
To pull out the detergent drawer, you will firstly need to see if
your drawer has the word ‘PUSH’ written on it in its softener compartment (compartment 3).
If the softener compartment has ‘PUSH’ written on it:
1 OPEN THE DETERGENT DRAWER. 2 PRESS THE WORD ‘PUSH’ WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND
WHILE PULLING THE DRAWER WITH YOUR LEFT HAND FIG. 22, ABOVE).
IF THE SOFTENER COMPARTMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE WORD ‘PUSH’ WRITTEN ON IT:

YOUR WASHING MACHINE WORKS ON 220-240V & 50 Hz. IT COMES WITH ITS OWN SPECIALLY MOULDED, EARTHED PLUG THAT HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO THE POWER CABLE OF YOUR WASHING MACHINE. The plug must be inserted to an earthed socket with 10 ampere. The fuse used in your plug must also be 10Amps. Should your electricity supply not match these specifications, you should contact a qualified electrician to accommodate this.
*REMINDER: WARNING! (PLEASE NOTE) Baumatic Ltd are not responsible for any damages arising out of usage following failure to earth (ground) your appliance.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER MAINS
Depending on your appliance’s features, it may operate with a single water inlet (cold) or a double water inlet (hot/cold). THE WHITE­HEADED HOSE IS FOR THE COLD WATER INLET / THE RED-HEADED HOSE IS FOR THE HOT WATER INLET (but ONLY for machines with a double water inlet system).

To prevent leakage from the connection joints, a seal (for machines with cold water inlet only) or seals (for machines with hot & cold water inlets) are included in the hose packing. Fit these seals at the end of the water inlet hoses on the tap side. If your sink only has a mixing tap, use only one hose and connect it to the cold water valve of the machine. In this case, screw on the supplied cap to close the hot water valve.
1) Connect the WHITE-HEADED HOSE to the WATER INLET VALVE with the white filter & connect the RED-HEADED HOSE to the WATER INLET VALVE with the red filer (this is only applicable to machines with double inlet systems).
2) Tighten (but do not over-tighten) the plastic parts of the connections with your hand. Please call a qualified plumber to ensure safer connections.
