HOW TO READ THE SYMBOLS ON YOUR CLOTHES LABELS

12

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

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.

14

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.

tune your washing preference.

See pages 6-7 for a

description of these options functions.

NOTE

: TO RUN A CONTINOUS WASH-DRY CYCLE
(IE, THE WASHLOAD IS AUTOMATICALLY DRIED
FOLLOWING WASHING), PLEASE SEE PAGE 23.

YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT THE HALF LOAD
OPTION IN ORDER TO RUN A WASH-DRY CYCLE.

18

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

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

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!

1) Place or leave a maximum of 2.5kgs of clothes (if resistant

fabrics) or 1.5kg for synthetic and mixed fabrics

of your washer-dryer.

in the drum

2) Select the drying time using the timer knob (shown on page

7).

Note the knob can be set up to a maximum of 140 minutes
(2 hours 20 minutes) but we suggest that you firstly select a
lower time of approximately 30/40 minutes. You can check if
the laundry is dry and, if not, add more minutes as needed to
prevent your clothes from being over-dried.

.

CONTINUOUS WASH-DRY CYCLE

This feature of your appliance allows a drying
cycle to follow on from a washing cycle
without your having to go anywhere near your
washer-dryer!

NOTE: You will need to set your washer-dryer to
perform this function if you do not want it to wash
and stop and then have to dry separately.

Set your washing programme as you would normally,
but REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST SELECT THE HALF­LOAD FEATURE.

Set your drying timer as you would normally do for a
drying programme.

Bear the following in mind when setting this function

: Do NOT press the

‘No spin’ button.

• Set the drying time

using the timer knob,
remembering that
several short spells
are better than a long
pre-programmed one.

• Select the washing

programme,
remembering that
your appliance will

programme has been
selected.

• To start the
machine, press the
‘ON/OFF’ button.

• At the end of the
wash and dry
programme, the timer
knob will stop at
position “0”.

• Press the ON/OFF
button and

power supply.

• Remove your dried
wash load.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Do not dry clothes that contain plastic (including
acrylic), foam or rubber or similar materials, or those
that have not been cleaned in a water solution. DO
NOT USE A PLASTIC DETERGENT DISPENSER ORB IN
THE DRUM!

23

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 Inlet Valve Filter

24

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:

1 Open the detergent drawer.
2 Grasp it with both hands.
3 Push down slightly and pull the drawer outwards (Fig.

23, ABOVE).

AFTER THOROUGHLY CLEANING THE DRAWER AND SIPHON
PLUG SO THAT NO RESIDUES REMAIN, REVERSE THE ABOVE
PROCEDURE TO REINSTALL THE DRAWER.

25

Cleaning the Cabinet

9 Clean the exterior surface of your machine with lukewarm water

and a cleaning substance that will not harm or scratch the cabinet.
After rinsing with clean water, wipe it with a soft and dry cloth.

PLEASE NOTE: If your washing machine is installed in a
location where the ambient temperature can fall below 0 °C, do
the following (once before you know your machine will be unused

for a long time).

o Plug in your Washing Machine.
o Close the water tap and pull out the water inlet hose or hoses from

the tap.

o Place the ends of the water drain and water inlet hoses in a cup on

the ground.

o Adjust the program knob to ‘Draining’ program.
o The ‘Program Ready’ light will come on.
o Run the program by pressing the ‘Start/Pause’ button.
o Unplug your machine when the program is over (program end light

is on).

* When you complete this process, the remaining water inside the
machine will be drained. There will now be no danger of ice forming.
When you use your washing machine again, be sure that the ambient

temperature is above 0 °C.

Cleaning the Drum

*PLEASE NOTE: Do not leave metal parts like needles, staples or
coins inside your Washer-dryer. There items cause rust build-up in
the drum. To clean these stains away, use a cleaning substance (that
doesn’t have chlorine in it) and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Never use dish-washing wires or similarly rough objects.

*REMOVAL OF LIME FROM YOUR MACHINE

If you use the right amount of detergent in your washing machine,
there will be no need for lime removal. However, if you want to use
lime removers, please pay attention to their manufacturers’ warnings.

SHOULD POSITION IT ON FLAT, NON-SLIPPERY & TOUGH GROUND.

o YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR WASHING MACHINE’S LEVEL BY TURNING ITS FEET EITHER

UPWARDS OR DOWNWARDS (Please see DIAGRAM below).

BLOCKS OR SIMILAR MATERIALS
UNDER THE MACHINE TO HELP MAKE
IT LEVEL TO THE GROUND.

4) NOTE: THE HIGHEST YOU CAN RAISE
THE APPLIANCE ON ITS FEET IS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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).

34

• 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.
