• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

• The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately

spun before being dried.

P0673S

Operating Sequence

• Only wool marked “Pure New Wool washable, preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned.

• If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump.To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent.It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water.For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Washing Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Recommended loads are indicated in

the programme charts. General rules: Cotton, linen: dr um full but not too

tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half

full; Delicate fabrics and woollens:drum

no more than one third full. The average weights of the most

common items are listed below as a guide:

Sheet 700-1000 g Pillow case 100-200 g Tablecloth 400-500 g Serviette 50-100 g Tea towel 70-120 g Linen hand towel 100-150 g Towelling hand towel 150-250 g Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g Bath robe 1000-1500 g Man’s shirt 200-300 g Apron 150-200 g

• Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.

• Sort the laundr y according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

• Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.

• Before washing, empty all

pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump.

• When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

• It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.

• When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.

• White items should not be washed with coloured items.

• Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the drum.

• Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special presoak product or biological detergent.

Washing Hints Washing Hints

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

You can use a biological product designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures or a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a Gentle Bleach product which is used in addition to your chosen detergent.

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms.Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is to own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not spr inkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol . Start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer’s instr uctions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alter natively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device, please

ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in socalled “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of water in your area can be obtained from

your water supply company or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to be used.

Use less detergent if: – you are washing small loads, – the laundr y is lightly soiled, – large amounts of foam form during

washing.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier.

The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol . Follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level.

Washing Hints Washing Hints

Drying symbols on garment labels

Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine dried.

The following symbols refer to drying:

Machine drying is usually possible

Normal drying (nor mal temperature)

Gentle drying (reduced temperature)

Do not machine dry

Duration of the drying cycle

The drying time can vary according to

• the final spin speed;

• the required degree of drying;

• the type of laundry;

• the size of load. The usual drying times are

indicated in the programme chart. As you become more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these times.

Fibre residue

After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perfor m a gentle rinse to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards.

After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.

Additional drying

Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the programme, set another short dr ying cycle.

Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.

Drying Hints

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be

open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Load

Warning: Loads of washed laundry

exceeding these values must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.

Garments not suitable for drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

Drying Programmes

Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Rust forming could be possible, if items such as paper clips, buttons, nails, etc. are not removed after a long time.

P1050

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed.

P0009

P0010

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned at regular intervals.

P0038

Unscrew and remove the filter.

Clean carefully under a fast running tap.

Refit the filter, screwing it fully in.

P0040

P0039

P0037

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (drain pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe is clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water taps;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• place a bowl on the floor;

• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out.When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.

P1071

OFF

P 1070

Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose or pipe because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter again.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, (unless it is absolutely necessary - see “Emergency emptying out”), always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to time.

Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses. Clean the filters using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hoses.

P0041

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

• Turn off the water taps.

• Unscrew the inlet hoses.

• Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl.

• Run the draining programme.

• Disconnect the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance and Cleaning

Something Not Working Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out a service agent. Before you call, please carry out the checks listed below. You can find the Brandt Service telephone number at the back of this booklet.

Symptom Possible causes

• The machine does not start:

• The door has not been closed.

• The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.

• There is no current at the socket.

• The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

• The selector dial is not correctly positioned.

• The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water taps are closed.

• The filters in the inlet hoses are blocked. Refer to paragraph “Cleaning the water inlet filters”.

• The inlet hoses may be squashed or kinked.

• The door has not been closed.

• The machine fills then empties immediately:

• The end of the drain hose is too low (see “ water drainage”in “Installation instructions”).

• The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.

• The ANTI-CREASE option has been selected.

• The drain filter may be blocked. (Please refer to “Maintenance”: Emergency emptying out).

• The drain hose extension is not correct. Follow the instructions for connecting to the waste.

• The drainage system pipes are blocked.

• The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to allow the machine to spin.

• There is water on the floor:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too much foam).

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hoses fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.

• The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.

• The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.

• The drainage system pipes are blocked.

• The drain filter has not been properly screwed on after cleaning.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The correct wash programme has not been selected.

• Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

• The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:

• The machine vibrates when spinning or is noisy:

• The internal packing has not been removed.

• The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

• The machine is not level.

• The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• The door will not open:

• The programme is still running.

• The door lock has not yet released.

• Water in the tub.

• Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.The laundr y is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• The machine makes an unusual noise:

• The machine is fitted with a new type of motor which makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional motors.This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

• No water is visible in the drum:

• Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

If after the above checks, there is still a fault, please call 0870 600 1301.

When you call please make sure you give the model and serial number of the appliance.

Before positioning the machine in its definitive place, rotate the inlet hoses at the back of the appliance in order to suit the water supply system.To do this: loose the ring nuts, position the hoses and tighten the ring nuts again to prevent leaks.

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet.The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level.

P0021

Installation

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pressure of 0.48 bar is required for safe operation of the appliance.

The inlet hoses must not be lengthened. If they are too short and you do not wish to move the taps, you will have to purchase new, longer hoses specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic U-piece supplied with the machine. In this case, make

sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

P0022

In a sink drain pipe branch.This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not

more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must

always be ventilated, i.e.the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the par t near the drainage point must be raised.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from our Service Agent.

Recommendations regarding the construction and fitting of a base when the installation requires an integrated appliance to be raised

Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto a wooden base provided by the installer.The material used to construct the base should have a non slip surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid piece. If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the additional height required, ensure that any additional strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside of the base (see Fig. F).

Drill four fixing holes (see Fig.G)

Additional pieces of timber should run from front to back

100 mm

40 mm

Position the base into the recess with its front edge as far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow. The

reason for placing the base in this position is to allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of the appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate countersunk screws (see Fig. H).

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide additional security.

If required an additional door magnet, part number 1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are available from spare parts.

Installation

The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig.B) supplied with the appliance.

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M 5x9 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door.To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the plates (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described.
